The saddle on a viola is a slender piece of ebony below the tailpiece, protecting the instrument's delicate body from damage. Without it, the tailpiece would create a rattling sound that detracts from the viola's beautiful tones. The saddle is crucial for maintaining the viola's sound quality and must be crafted precisely.
