Wolf Eliminator for Violin & Viola

An adjustable solution for reducing unwanted violin and viola wolf tones

The Wolf Eliminator for Violin & Viola is a compact string-mounted accessory designed to reduce troublesome wolf tones. A wolf occurs when a played note interacts strongly with the instrument's natural resonance, producing an unstable, pulsing, or warbling response. By adding a small adjustable mass to the string afterlength, this traditional wolf eliminator can help control the resonance and make the affected note more stable and manageable.

Made from nickel with a chrome-plated finish, the eliminator mounts on a string between the bridge and tailpiece. Its position along the afterlength can be adjusted to find the location that most effectively reduces the individual instrument's wolf response. Because wolf tones vary among violins and violas, some experimentation with placement may be necessary. An interior rubber sleeve surrounds the string, while the lock nut secures the eliminator once the desired position is found. Its adjustable design provides a straightforward approach to wolf-tone control without permanently modifying the instrument.
