What I did rather cleverly w/ my 5 String Cello is change the friction pegs out to mechanical ones which also allowed me to get rid of those fine tuners from the tailpiece. The lack of fine tuners on the tailpiece livens up the Cello's sound by allowing the top to Vibrate more freely.
Good review. :p Would a solution for the wooden tailpiece be just to take off the fine tuners? I've seen most professional instruments with just one hill style fine tuner.
I have seen a Stradivari violin with such a carbon fiber tail piece. The issue is that each time you turn a peg in the peg hole, the hole becomes a bit wider. It's the only part of the violin body that really wears out. Here is the video where you can see the Strad with the tail piece in question: Ilya Konovalov on his Stradivari Violin performs with Southern Cross Soloists in Brisbane on 14 June
