Ebonprex Viola Fingerboard

The modern alternative to endangered ebony – superior stability, exceptional performance

Key Features

  • Premium aesthetics – Deep black finish indistinguishable from traditional ebony

  • Superior stability – Unidirectional construction eliminates warping and seasonal movement

  • Enhanced durability – Density of 1.2 t/m³ provides exceptional hardness and wear resistance

  • Excellent acoustics – High sound transmission speed enhances tonal response

  • Easy workability – Compatible with standard lutherie tools

  • Sustainable choice – European beech sourced responsibly

Performance Comparison

Our stiffest fingerboard option – firmer than ebony or Sonowood alternatives, providing maximum stability and tonal clarity at a mid-range price point.
