tailpiece
A tailpiece is a component often found on stringed musical instruments, such as a violin or guitar, which anchors one end of the strings. It is usually located on the lower end of the instrument. The strings are wound around tuning pegs on the instrument's head and stretch across the instrument's body, passing over the bridge, to be finally attached to the tailpiece. Tailpieces can be made from various materials such as wood, metal, or plastic. In non-musical context, a tailpiece can refer to an appendage or extension at the end of something, like a pipe. It can also refer to a conclusion or final part of a book, speech, event, etc.
