Ebony: a historical standard for the viola
Traditionally, ebony is the reference wood for fingerboards of string quartet instruments due to its density and strength. This grade 1a version continues the preferred lutherie choices for musicians seeking a reliable, consistent, and long-lasting piece.
Intended use and target musician
This fingerboard is designed for intermediate to professional violists as well as demanding amateurs, across all styles (classical, baroque with modern setup, contemporary music). Ideal for replacement or restoration, it aims to restore precise playability and enhanced stability.
Sound quality
Thanks to its density, ebony promotes a clear attack sensation and good definition. A well-fitted fingerboard contributes to the transmission of vibrations and playing consistency, while offering a comfortable contact that facilitates intonation and shifting.
