Does tailpiece height affect tone?

Tailpieces have an impact on tone. ... Also, with some tailpieces, it is possible to control the height and break angle of the strings. A higher tailpiece makes the tone darker, and a lower one makes it brighter.

How far should the tailpiece be from the bridge?

Usually the distance from the center of the bridge to the fret of the tailpiece (after length) is 1/6 that of the length of the strings measured from the center of the bridge to the fret of the fingerboard (effective string length). The distance of the tailpiece from the bridge influences the sound of an instrument.
