First off, I'd like to say that the lyre inlay on that tailpiece is seriously awesome! So are those carved pegs. Chinrest I am less sure about. It looks kinda cool, but is it as comfortable to play on as smooth ones?
Second, it is a good rule of thumb to follow not only with violin, but pretty much any stringed instrument. Violin, guitar, dulcimers, pianos, autoharps, harps, anything. If you always take a little tension off the string and then tune it *up* to pitch, you'll save yourself some money on strings over time and have less tuning troubles.
