	The American Nyckelharpa Association \| How to replace the nyckelharpa's tail piece
		If the tailpiece were to receive a blow upwards and the angle were close to 90 degrees, it might lift up from the body of the harpa.
		There must be good contact between the tailpiece heel and the edge of the top, and between the tailpiece heel and the matching notch in the body of the harpa, for the sake of resonance.
		Moving the tailpiece side-to-side will change this, and although you might not think it's such a big deal, it only takes small changes to make the distance between the strings and the tangents (the action) noticeably different.

	The Session: Discussions - Banjo question
		The tailpiece has some effect on how the banjo sounds (I rate the tailpiece itself as number five on my list of factors that effect the sound, in descending order of course) but the angle of the strings as they come off the bridge towards the tailpiece is more important (number four on the list.)
		Some tailpieces (mine included) have a bolt on the back that you tighten to push the tailpiece closer to the head or loosen to ease the tailpiece up off the head.
		You don't have to loosen the strings to move the tailpiece, the changes in tension are not that much.

	Bass Player - The Endpin & Tailpiece: More Tone Factors
		His luthier installed a very long tailpiece made of rosewood, which is heavy; this caused the wolf tone to “float away into the air somewhere,” as he described it.
		A tailpiece that’s longer is, of course, heavier—but it also results in less distance between the tailpiece and the bridge.
		Innovative instrument designer Ned Steinberger feels that the distance between the bridge and tailpiece is significant because the tailpiece vibrates with the bridge—and this movement is directly affected by the placement of the tailpiece mass.

	Changing the pegs, tailpiece, and chin rest?
		I have looking to buy some new violins recently and noticed not all of them have fl (my guess is ebony) tailpieces, pegs, and chin rests.
		I`m currently looking at a 1900 German model with inlaid tailpiece and pegs (of ebony) - I don`t know if I like that either, but the violin itself has a beautiful tone.
		Another violin I saw didn`t have an ebony tailpiece, chinrest, and pegs, but it was a darker type than the rosewood/boxwood.

		They had to be up off the body because they were the bridge as well as the tailpiece and the strings were topwrapped around them.
		If the tailpiece was screwed down to the body on these guitars "to maximize sustain" then the string action would have been too low to be playable.
		It makes sense to me that when the ABR bridge came out and the tailpiece was moved back, that it was still screwed to the same height as before the ABR.
