Standard Fingerboard blanks are Indian Ebony
A and AA grade Fingerboards are African Ebony
Synthetic Fingerboards are Corene boards, a Swiss developed and produced alternative to real wood.
Corene™ is the result of research by the company Neo-Ebène Sàrl and was developed using an innovating eco-composite material, offering an ecological alternative to ebony in the field of violin making.
The material used for the manufacture of Corene™ offers the following specificities:
•A look, feel and finish virtually indistinguishable from ebony in its color and structure
•Resistance to acidity found in hand and fingers perspiration, reducing the need to correct the surface of the fingerboard
•Excellent dimensional stability, not affected by humidity and temperature changes
•Mechanical characteristic comparable to ebony, providing strength and the sensation of uniform elasticity, especially in higher finger positions
•Surface hardness and mass volume equivalent to ebony, qualities essential for a sharp and clear tone
