Description
The Wittner Ultra tailpiece with adjusters for 1/2 to 3/4 size cello is a clean, dependable upgrade designed for students, advancing players and school departments. Its light feel and tidy look suit any fractional cello, while the four integrated fine tuners make everyday tuning quick and accurate without the clutter of separate metal adjusters. If you are setting up a new instrument, replacing a worn tailpiece on a rental, or helping a young player gain confidence between lessons, this is a trusted choice. Players appreciate the immediate response and secure tuning, and teachers value the consistent build quality that makes classroom maintenance simple and predictable.
Made in Germany from a high tech composite, the Wittner Ultra combines low weight with impressive strength. The integrated screw adjusters operate smoothly across a wide range and are kind to strings, with rounded contact points that reduce wear. The composite body resists corrosion, avoids rattles common to older metal designs and helps the instrument resonate more freely. Hardware is neatly recessed and the streamlined profile sits comfortably on the cello, keeping the set up balanced in the hands and on the shoulder. Supplied with an adjustable tailgut, it allows a tidy, secure fit and proper afterlength without fuss.
For UK tuition and ensemble use, this tailpiece makes day to day life easier. Younger players can tune accurately with the fine tuners rather than relying solely on the pegs, which encourages good habits and builds confidence. The robust composite stands up to the knocks of school rehearsals and travel, while the smooth adjusters suit common student steel or synthetic strings. It is excellent value for schools and parents, pairing durable build with a clear improvement over basic student hardware. Whether for practice at home, orchestra at the weekend or term time lessons, it delivers reliable performance with minimal maintenance.
