Features
- Tailpiece with integrated fine tuners for viola
- Material: Hi-Tec composite
In practice
- With a tailpiece what counts is the afterlength, the distance between bridge and tailpiece.
- On the Multi System versions this afterlength can be adjusted by 5 mm on the fully assembled instrument without taking the strings off.
- Integrated fine tuners save you the clip-on tuners and their edges above the top.
- Wittner describes the Hi-Tec composite as ULTRA stable and ULTRA light.

Sound and physics
Wittner makes the ULTRA tailpieces from a Hi-Tec composite and describes them as ULTRA stable and ULTRA light. The strings rest on rounded bearing points that treat them gently and keep them from slipping. The ULTRA line carries four integrated fine tuners; the ULTRA-CLASSIC line in the classic shape takes all clip-on Wittner fine tuners for its instrument, with the full adjustment range on the English model.
On the MULTI SYSTEM versions the nylon tailgut can be adjusted by 5 millimetres, and with it the afterlength, the string section between bridge and tailpiece.
