It's well made of composite materials except for the screws, which seem to be aluminum. It's well made, and everything works as it should. Installation is straightforward if you've changed a tailpiece on a violin before. I mark the location of the bridge with small bits of masking tape before loosening the strings. I'm also careful to keep the violin on its back and not knock it around while doing this so as not to have the soundpost fall. Also, the tailgut should be adjusted so the string after length (the distance between the bridge and the tailpiece should be about 1/6 the open string length. If you're not confident about being able to do this, you might want to have a luthier or violin shop perform this job for you. As far as tonal changes, I can't really hear any on this particular violin (a Gliga Gama). I weighed the Wittner tailpiece against the original ebony tailpiece with one fine tuner and the Wittner, at 20.5 grams is 1 gram heavier than the original tailpiece. Review: Works for me - This is for the player who likes fine tuners on all their strings and who doesn't mind a (small and possibly imaginary) loss of tonal color. I got this for my favorite "$2.00 fiddle", a late 19th century Hopf that I had rebuilt about 30 years ago. This fiddle settled in a decade ago and now sounds better than than anything new I've played recently. So it is a fair test bed for this tailpiece. Like I said, if there is loss of tonal color as far as I can tell it is in my imagination. This tailpiece has the the advantage of fine tuners on all the strings and since the tuners are integral it is balanced so the string length is where is should be. Plus, it seems to be sturdier than those fine tuners that you hook into a standard tailpiece's holes. That was written in 2018. This edit is done in 2022 to add that in 2019 I found two much better violins, made by an obscure luthier in Tennessee, who has recently passed. Since I continue to play a variety of music, including old time tunes which require retuning to AEae or DDAD, it was inevitable that I'd migrate my two best fully adjustable tailpieces to them. The Wittner Ultra is a remarkably good tailpiece. It actually improved the tone of these two unique violins rather than simplifying it. This can only be appreciated on a really good instrument; my old German violins are good relative to average ones that you see in jams and fiddling contests but just don't show how much the tone can be improved with one of these tailpieces. I would hope the reader would not be discouraged by lack of improvement if they put one of these on an average fiddle since the convenience will outweigh other factors. But if they're loading up a good violin with four fine tuners so as to easily play nonstandard tunings, I'd remind them that an Ultra has four fine tuners for significantly less weight penalty without shortening string afterlength. ## Features - Black screws - Hi-tech plastic with 4 fine tuners - Ultra stable - Ultra light - With nylon hanging string ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001HNU7KM | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,530 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #33 in Violin Parts | | Body Material | Plastic | | Brand | Wittner | | Brand Name | Wittner | | Color | black screws | | Connector Type | Screws | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 447 Reviews | | Finish Type | Metal | | Included Components | Violin | | Item Dimensions | 4.53 x 1.73 x 0.87 inches | | Item Type Name | violin tailpiece | | Item Weight | 32 g | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 4.53 x 1.73 x 0.87 inches | | Manufacturer | Wittner | | Material | Plastic | | Model Name | Wittner | | Model Number | 918131 | | Part Number | 918131 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Color:** black screws - **Brand:** Wittner - **Material:** Plastic - **Model Name:** Wittner - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 4.53 x 1.73 x 0.87 inches ## Images ![Wittner Violin Tailpiece 1/2 Hi-Tech Plastic with 4 Fine Tuners, Ultra Light - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513Py1r-FnL.jpg) ![Wittner Violin Tailpiece 1/2 Hi-Tech Plastic with 4 Fine Tuners, Ultra Light - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617I1CdeGYL.jpg) ![Wittner Violin Tailpiece 1/2 Hi-Tech Plastic with 4 Fine Tuners, Ultra Light - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51S7MqV9NrL.jpg) ![Wittner Violin Tailpiece 1/2 Hi-Tech Plastic with 4 Fine Tuners, Ultra Light - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51JP3TPfbLL.jpg) ![Wittner Violin Tailpiece 1/2 Hi-Tech Plastic with 4 Fine Tuners, Ultra Light - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hhxeJ3tpL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you need four fine tuners on your violin, this is the setup you want. *by U***Y on May 16, 2024* I bought this tailpiece so I could add fine tuners on all four strings on a violin I was setting up for my niece (an adult beginner).

I never had changed a violin tailpiece before and this is my first time. But at opening the parcel and took a first look of this product, I knew exactly how to deal with it. Well there is nothing much to say about the installation since it is so simple. I have to tell you why I bought this item. I bought a China-made violin. It came with a plastic tailpiece (with 4 tuners). It didn't seem to be fragile and the tuner worked fine. But I believe it would be wise to have a SECOND tailpiece. Then I hunted for a tailpiece ( and other violin accessaries) in Amazon. I was in 2 minds. Ofcourse I would like my new violin to be in all woods. An ebony one seemed to be a very attractive choice. But after I read the reviews here, on wood, metal and platic models, I made up my mind to take this one. Though reviewers here said the product to be "light". But it is not as light as I had imagined. It looks great on my China-made violin. It is sturdy. gives me the confidence that it won't break under my nose. Its fine-tuners works well. It 's in every way better than the one that comes along with my violin. I don't give it a 5 stars just because that honor is reserved for some tailpieces costing 10 or 20 times more expensive than it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/28999939-wittner-violin-tailpiece-1-2-hi-tech-plastic-with-4](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/28999939-wittner-violin-tailpiece-1-2-hi-tech-plastic-with-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-17*
