What is the tailpiece of a violin made of?
Violin tailpieces are typically made of wood: ebony, rosewood, boxwood, or rarely pernambuco. Other materials include cast light metal, and composites including plastic.
Where is the tailpiece on a violin?
The tailpiece anchors the strings on the bottom end of violins, violas and cellos. As the top of the strings are held in place by pegs in the peg box, they are strung across the fingerboard and tightly fit into nubs of the bridge, all held sturdily at the lower end by the tailpiece.
