vio.lino Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Do you guys have any pictures for cool and unusual tailpieces? I’m having an instrument commissioned and I am discussing with my violin maker doing something different but elegant for my tailpiece (carving, inlay, painting, etc) please post some pictures for inspiration! It’s been hard just trying to search for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnham Violin Co. Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Here's a cool one I have. Only thing I know about it is it used to be on an old Virzi violin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight B. Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Here's one I made. I found a guy with a woodcutting laser, and he cut a hole this shape into the tailpiece. From there, I filled it with a mixture of epoxy and bronze dust, and sanded/filed it down when it dried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Fuss Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Not so much the tailpiece, but I replaced a missing fret with ivory cut from an old piano key top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s amazing! Any other cool inlays or painted tailpieces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
