Credo si tratti sempre di una particella del violino.
La domanda in questione è

head, peg-box

My Collins-Sansoni dictionary gives the above two terms as a translation for "cavigliere" in a musical context. Hope that helps a bit.
Note from asker:
Thank you so much. I think peg-box is perfect. I have found out other websites using this term. :)
