Tailpieces are essential components of a viola. We provide tailpieces crafted from ebony and rosewood to produce diverse tones. Dense woods warm and deepen the sound, while lighter woods brighten it. The material of the tailpiece plays a significant role in enhancing or altering the sound of the viola.

Choose a tailpiece for your viola - round or angled. Check our website for images. Find up to four string adjusters in our viola accessories section under tuners and metronomes.
