Tailpieces

Student Tailpieces

Advanced Tailpieces

The Hill Model tailpiece in either the french or english design made from either ebony or boxwood, significantly raises the tone of instruments. The tailpiece absorbs less energy from the strings and maximises the energy that passes through the bridge in order to project an instruments sound. The sound is more focused and brilliant without being harsh or strident. This tailpieces comes with a fine tuner on the E-string only.

Professional Tailpieces

The ZMT tailpiece is a revolutionary design for instruments of the violin family. It dramatically enhances sound production, allowing the player to discover and enjoy the instrument's full potential.


By generating more symbiotic vibrations between the strings, bridge and the sound post, the ZMT tailpiece creates more resonance throughout the whole body of the instrument. As a result, the instrument becomes more responsive, produces a broader spectrum of overtones and a more balanced timbre.
