Carbon Fiber Double bass tailpiece – Tulip Style, Black matt

Description

The Tulip-style double bass tailpiece combines a classic, elegant shape with the performance advantages of modern carbon fiber construction. Finished in black matt, it offers a clean, discreet appearance that blends naturally with both traditional and modern double basses.

Handmade from real layered carbon fiber composite, this tailpiece is exceptionally lightweight yet strong. At approximately 78 grams, it transfers vibration efficiently and reduces the amount of energy absorbed by the tailpiece. Compared with heavier traditional wooden tailpieces, it delivers faster response, stronger projection, and greater tonal clarity across the full range of the instrument.

The Tulip shape is a time-proven design valued for its balanced proportions, stable string support, and traditional appearance. Combined with the low weight and high stiffness of carbon fiber, it allows the double bass to respond more freely, producing a more open, resonant, and focused sound.

Unlike wood, carbon fiber is resistant to changes in temperature and humidity. It maintains its shape and structural stability in changing conditions, making it a reliable choice for rehearsals, performances, travel, and everyday professional use.

Each tailpiece is carefully handmade in the ConCarbo workshop in Portugal, ensuring attention to detail and consistent quality. It comes equipped with a durable Kevlar tailcord for secure installation and long-term use.
