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.

Hi there! Your viola ebony saddle needs to be fitted by a professional luthier. At Animato Strings, our friendly team of luthiers and technicians can help you out. Don't hesitate to contact us if you need any assistance!
