Custom tailpieces

In order to make a tailpiece to a customer's specific requirements, we need to know whether it is for violin, viola or cello; the style required; the type of wood the tailpiece is to be made from and the material to be used for the fret.

English style tailpiece

The length of the tailpiece must be defined - either the overall length of the tailpiece or the length measured from the tip over the bottom button to the front of the fret.

There is no standard length of tailpiece. Each tailpiece is made to a specified length which suits the individual instrument to which it is being fitted.
