Nero Cello Fingerboards are made with the violin maker or violin shop in mind for easy preparation and fitting. They are shaped 1 mm wider that the dimensions described by Hans Weisshaar in his book on violin restoration. They can be made so close to dimension because the Nero Material is so regular and will not warp or distort. They are available in both round and beveled shapes.

The surfaces need light polishing, and there is no "swoop" on these fingerboards, which is easily induced with planeing and scraping if desired. The recommended gluing method is scoring the back side of the fingerboard with a file or rough sandpaper, and then using high clarity hide glue with at least 190 gram strength such as our glue.
