Ebony is commonly used for violin fingerboards due to its hardness, stability, acoustic properties, and traditional appearance. Among the different grades of ebony, German Master Grade ebony is highly coveted by instrument makers due to its exceptional quality.
The fingerboard is important for the sound quality and ease of playing the viola. Ebony wood is preferred for its density and acoustic properties. However, it wears out due to string friction, so it's crucial to maintain it with specialized products. Ebony is dense and black, features that contribute to the quality of the instrument.
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.
The design of a cello bridge affects how it responds to the bow. The Chinese Cello Bridge Belgian style produces a louder sound and crisper gut G and C strings. A lighter-weight bridge design produces a brighter sound that requires less effort for bowing but may be less flexible in colouring the sound.
The Despiau Belgian model cello bridge is an excellent way to improve the quality of your instrument. Upgrading your bridge can enhance your playing comfort and improve the tone quality of your instrument.
This is a high-quality musical instrument peg made from composite and light alloy. It has a traditional hardwood appearance that professional musicians look for. The peg is easy to install; simply press it into place without using glue. Once inserted into the peg box, the shaft of the Fine Tune peg remains firmly locked in position, while only the button and the middle section of the shaft with gears rotate. These pegs have an internal gear ratio of 8.5:1, which allows for accurate tuning. The gear mechanism is also self-inhibiting, meaning it cannot slip back once turned.
Wittner fine tuners help achieve pinpoint accuracy when tuning your cello. They're an essential accessory for many string players, making tuning easier, especially for students. To use fine tuners, adjust tuning with the pegs, then fine-tune with the Wittner fine tuners. The Stable-style fine tuner connects steel and synthetic strings using two prongs and attaches to the tailpiece of your cello.
