The strings pass over a violin-type, or pressure, bridge and are hitched to a tailpiece. |
Telescopic union tailpiece with nut for radiator valves and lockshield valves. |

The strings had snapped, the fingerboard was half off, the ornate bridge had shattered and the tailpiece had fallen off. |
The tailpiece makes a limited exception to that principle in the cases in which it applies. |
There may also be an introduction, usually in slow tempo, and a coda, or tailpiece. |
