Berdani´s Dark Paper
Sustainable, environmentally friendly and innovative

An alternative for ebony

Our idea: We wanted to find a material that was equal to ebony in appearance, weight and sound, but could be produced sustainably. We succeeded in doing that. The result is Berdani's Dark Paper, a composite of recycled paper and resin. To produce the high-quality dark paper, recycled paper is soaked with a warm resin, layered by hand and pressed under high pressure. The finished product looks like the finest ebony. It has a continuous black colour and the same hardness and density as ebony. Berdani's Dark Paper is also heat and dirt repellent and resistant to moisture and sweat. Since the material is made of purely natural components, it is 100% biodegradable. Berdani`s Dark Paper is also non-toxic and does not shrink or swell.

The composite can be processed immediately and without long storage times. Violin makers do not need special tools for this. The material can be processed with conventional violin making tools; it can be planed, filed and sanded.
