Explanation:
En este contexto yo usaría la traducción literal "cuello", a pesar de que en muchos diagramas sobre el tema lo denominan "mástil", "astil" y también "mango".
Por otra parte, dado que debe "extenderlo 1 o 2 pulgadas...", puede que se refiera en realidad a la pieza que cubre el mástil o mango y se extiende hasta casi el centro del violín, sobre la cual el violinista presiona las cuerdas; esta pieza se denomina "diapasón".
Puesto que son instrucciones para decorar una torta y no para construir un violín verdadero, creo que "cuello" es suficiente :)
Saludos.
