Wittner Fine Tune Cello Peg Set (Not Fitted)
This high-quality musical instrument peg is made from composite and light alloy material. It has the traditional hardwood look that professional musicians demand. The peg is easy to install; simply press it into place without using glue. The peg shaft remains firmly in position, and you can tune the instrument by turning the peg head. There is no friction between the peg and the pegbox, and the peg is resistant to changes in climate and humidity.
Once inserted into the peg box, the shaft of the Fine Tune pegs stays locked and does not move, while only the button and the middle section of the shaft with gears rotate. These pegs have an internal gear ratio of 8.5:1, allowing for accurate tuning. The gear mechanism is also self-inhibiting, meaning it cannot slip back once turned.
The cello pegs have a taper ratio 1:25 to fit into the peg box like traditional pegs.
When using Fine Tune pegs, the shaft stays in place once fitted. This means there is no wear on the peg box, unlike traditional pegs. Additionally, Tune pegs eliminate the risk of a split peg box since no inward pressure is exerted during the tuning process.
