Berdani Violin Tailpiece – Vieuxtemps Model in English Boxwood

Handcrafted by master luthier Daniel Hiller

The Berdani violin tailpiece in the Vieuxtemps model is a replica of the tailpiece of the world-famous Guarneri del Gesù “Vieuxtemps”. It combines historical inspiration with precise modern craftsmanship and carefully selected natural materials. Each tailpiece is handcrafted by master luthier Daniel Hiller and optimized for ideal vibration transfer, low weight, and powerful tonal development.

Design & Tonal Character

All Berdani tailpieces are crafted with the goal of preserving the violin’s natural vibration behavior. The balanced proportions allow the instrument to resonate freely, supporting response, overtone development, and tonal clarity.

The Vieuxtemps model stands out with its elegant lines and historically inspired shape. Tonally, it delivers a powerful, overtone-rich sound with clear articulation and excellent projection. Its balanced construction adds presence and depth to the instrument.

Fine engravings in the upper section reflect the historical model and give the tailpiece a distinctive handcrafted character. An elegant patina completes the finely carved design and enhances its timeless appearance.

Material – English Boxwood

The tailpiece is made from high-quality English boxwood. The wood is traditionally colored using saltpeter and ammonia, creating a classic orange-brown tone that blends harmoniously with the instrument’s appearance.

Due to its slightly higher density, English boxwood offers tonal properties partly comparable to ebony. The sound remains stable, focused, and projecting, while maintaining a lively overtone structure. This makes it ideal for musicians seeking powerful yet nuanced tonal development.

The surface is finely sanded with pure linseed oil and polished with natural wax, resulting in a breathable, natural finish that protects the wood while preserving its acoustic properties.

The packaging is made exclusively from sustainable, recycled materials, reflecting Berdani’s commitment to responsible and resource-conscious craftsmanship.
