Abstract: In general, the present invention provides a tailpiece for a musical instrument. Among other things, the tailpiece includes: a treble side; a bass side opposite the treble side, wherein the treble side is longer than the bass side at a tip of the tailpiece such that the treble side extends further towards a bridge of the musical instrument along an axis oriented from a tail end of the tailpiece towards the tip of the tailpiece; and a plurality of string holes for holding a plurality of strings of the musical instrument.

Abstract: In general, the present invention provides a tailpiece for a musical instrument. Among other things, the tailpiece includes a plurality of openings for receiving a plurality of strings and a detachable tuner positioned within one or more of the plurality of openings. Among other features, the tailpiece includes a set of detachable keyhole inserts positioned within one or more of the openings of the tailpiece unoccupied by a detachable tuner. Each detachable tuner is interchangeable with one of the detachable keyhole string inserts, thus allowing players to use tuners with any string desired for complete customization based on each player's preference.

Abstract: In general, the present invention provides a tailpiece for a musical instrument. Among other things, the tailpiece includes a treble side, a bass side, and a surface topography (i.e., along its bottom surface) causes the tailpiece to twist/rock when the bass side is brought under tension. Among other features, the topography includes a protrusion positioned proximate the treble side, and that comes in contact with the actual musical instrument. The twisting or rocking action causes a lower set of strings attached to the tailpiece to be lengthened, thus, creating difference musical sounds and/or tones.
