Wittner TPBWP14 Ultra 1/4 Double Bass Tailpiece, Composite

Wittner Ultra 1/4 Double Bass Tailpiece

The Wittner Ultra 1/4 Double Bass Tailpiece is a composite string anchoring component sized for a quarter-size upright bass. It holds the strings at the lower end of the instrument as part of the tailpiece assembly. Made in Germany, this model provides a size-specific option for replacement or instrument setup.

Players, teachers, and instrument repair specialists can select this quarter-size fitting when sourcing a replacement tailpiece for double bass maintenance. Its composite construction offers an alternative to a wooden fitting. For a 1/4 upright bass setup, matching the tailpiece to the instrument's size provides a starting point when assessing fit. A luthier, a specialist who builds and repairs string instruments, can evaluate the complete installation.

Wittner identifies composite material and quarter-size compatibility in its manufacturer documentation. This listing focuses on the tailpiece body for that instrument size. During replacement, assess the attachment hardware, string positioning, and surrounding fittings together. The tailpiece forms part of the instrument's string anchoring system, so its installation belongs within the overall bass setup rather than being treated as an isolated cosmetic change.
