Tail-piece

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

“A Tail-piece is a piece at the end, as of a series of engravings; an appendage. Also a piece of ebony or other material appended to the end of a violin or other similar instrument, to which the strings are fastened. In printing, tail-pieces are ornaments in wood or metal placed in short pages, partly to fill up the vacancy."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
