Ebony is a dense, dark hardwood that has been a popular choice for the fingerboards of violins for centuries. This wood is highly prized for its striking appearance, deep black colour and distinctive grain patterns. However, it is not just its aesthetic qualities that make it famous - ebony is also incredibly hard and durable, able to withstand the constant pressure and friction of the violinist's fingers without wearing down or losing their shape. Also, ebony is well-known for its excellent acoustic properties, contributing to the clear and bright tone characteristic of the finest violins. As a result, ebony remains the gold standard for fingerboard materials in the world of stringed instruments and is the choice of discerning musicians and luthiers alike.

The nut on a violin or viola marks one end of each open string's vibrating length, sets the string spacing, and determines the string's height from the fingerboard. Along with the bridge, it defines the scale lengths of the open strings.
