In our workshop we set it to 55 millimetres on a 4\/4 violin, with a tolerance of one millimetre. That is one sixth of the 328 millimetre vibrating string length; it is measured from the front edge of the tailpiece saddle to the bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe afterlength follows from the length of the tailpiece and of the tailgut, the loop that anchors it to the end button. That is why we make violin tailpieces in 106, 108, 110, 112 and 115 millimetres to suit the instrument's string length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough tailgut and end button the tailpiece carries the full longitudinal pull of the four strings, around 21 to 23.5 kilograms on a 4\/4 violin with the Thomastik synthetic sets we stock. Its own mass and that of any fine tuners feed back into the way the body vibrates. Our French ebony model ZA-328E weighs 13 grams at 106, 14 at 108, 16 at 112 and 17 grams at 115 millimetres; the ZA-350 with Parisian eye weighs 20 grams at 115 millimetres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make our tailpieces in ebony, rosewood and boxwood. Of these three woods ebony has the highest density. Our rosewood, Dalbergia latifolia, is listed in the materials literature with a density of 820 to 920 kilograms per cubic metre. For the same shape and length the tailpiece's mass therefore follows the wood, and it also varies from piece to piece with the wood's density.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur models differ in shape: the French with a softly rounded outline, the Hill or English shape with a gabled, ridged top, and the tulip shape with a chalice-like outline. In terms of sound, what matters with all three shapes is mass and afterlength. Every Götz tailpiece is drilled for the tailgut and comes with one. Our tailpieces are finished in Markneukirchen; the white Götz seal marks pieces with verified timber origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a hollowed tailpiece the underside is milled out as far as the wood allows. As a result our French ebony model ZA-7483 weighs 13 grams at 112 millimetres, while the solid French model ZA-328E weighs 16 grams at the same length. With the same shape, wood and length, hollowing therefore removes around 3 grams, just under a fifth of the mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn violin making the lighter ZA-7483 is thus regarded as a smaller load on the vibrating system behind the bridge.

The vibrating string length ranges accordingly from 352 to 387 millimetres. To match, we make viola tailpieces in 120, 125 and 130 millimetres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur French ebony model ZA-V328 weighs 24 grams at both 125 and 130 millimetres, the Hill model ZA-V357 21 grams at 120 millimetres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe make our tailpieces in ebony, rosewood and boxwood. Of these three woods ebony has the highest density. Our rosewood, Dalbergia latifolia, is listed in the materials literature with a density of 820 to 920 kilograms per cubic metre. For the same shape and length the tailpiece's mass therefore follows the wood, and it also varies from piece to piece with the wood's density.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur models differ in shape: the French with a softly rounded outline, the Hill or English shape with a gabled, ridged top, and the tulip shape with a chalice-like outline. In terms of sound, what matters with all three shapes is mass and afterlength. Every Götz tailpiece is drilled for the tailgut and comes with one. Our tailpieces are finished in Markneukirchen; the white Götz seal marks pieces with verified timber origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cagjr-erfahrung\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur experience: for large violas we recommend 125 millimetres, and up to 130 millimetres is possible.
