Planetary Pegs
Pegheds ®

An improvement on the traditional wooden peg.

Pegheds® have the look and feel of the traditional ebony tuning peg, but engineered inside is a tiny planetary gear movement. This 4:1 gear gives a tremendous advantage in ease and accuracy in tuning. In addition, the amount of holding friction of the gears can be adjusted just as you would on a wooden peg: as you tune, simply press in slightly to increase friction; draw the peg out just slightly to decrease friction. Usage is completely intuitive.

Pegheds® have been in use for about 10 years in the world of classical music instruments and are elegant, simple, and reliable. Violinists, cellists, and other stringed instrument players have relied on them in the most demanding music and performance settings. We custom install them for a fine fit and finish.
