The invention relates to an adjustable tensioning and counter-tensioning device enabling a refinement of the wooden parts of stringed instruments and thereby obtaining long and powerful vibrations. It is made up of a tailpiece (8) having three functions which are as follows: 1/ applying pressure on the bridge and the top plate (5) 2/ raising the bridge and the top plate (6) 3/ pulling the neck backwards, thereby creating additional harmonic sounds (10).
