BERDANI French Violin Fittings Set
Tailpiece, pegs, chinrest and endpin made from Berdani´s Dark Boxwood
Handcrafted by master luthier Daniel Hiller
The BERDANI French violin fittings set combines a tailpiece, pegs, chinrest and endpin into a harmoniously matched setup for demanding musicians and high-quality instruments. The fittings combine classical French design with precise craftsmanship and carefully selected natural materials.
All components are handcrafted by master luthier Daniel Hiller and are perfectly matched both functionally and visually. Thanks to their low weight and balanced proportions, the fittings support the natural vibration of the violin and allow a clear, projecting and overtone-rich tonal development.
Design, Ergonomics & Sound Character
The French design is characterized by elegant rounded lines and harmonious proportions. The shape supports the free vibration of the strings, enabling a direct response and a balanced tonal development across all strings.
Material – Berdani´s Dark Boxwood
The entire fittings set is made from Berdani´s Dark Boxwood, a thermally treated boxwood with a warm dark brown color. The coloration is created exclusively through heat treatment without stains, dyes or chemical additives.
This material offers several important advantages:
- particularly low weight for free vibration of the instrument
- high stability with natural elasticity
- pleasant warm surface without chemical coatings
- harmonious visual match for classical instruments
All surfaces are finely sanded with pure linseed oil and then polished with natural wax, creating a breathable natural surface that protects the wood while preserving its acoustic properties.
The packaging consists exclusively of sustainable recycled materials.
