Purfling is decorative inlay. On violins it is the little black and white line that runs around the edge of the top and the back. Purfling is made from three pieces of wood sandwiched together to make a black-white-black pattern. A very small channel is cut parallel to the edge of the instrument and the purfling is glued into this.

Materials for purfling vary widely among makers and can be a useful way to identify older instruments. Stradivari, and most everyone in Cremona, used pearwood that was dyed black for the two outer strips and poplar for the white center strip. German makers tended to use maple for both black and white. Some French makers used ebony for the blacks, as it does not need any dying, but ebony is notoriously brittle and hard to bend into shape. Sometimes materials other than wood were used, such as the Testore family, who apparently used corn husks or some kind of paper, or the Dutch school of violin makers who used whale baleen. One Roman maker even used silver for his "blacks".
