Repeat this process on the other 3 pegs replacing them in the sequence listed above. In fact there is no need for more than 3-4 windings of the string on the moving spline. If this is the case the string can be carefully shortened. In some cases the coloured wound end of the string is too long and there is too much string length to fit on the moving spline. This is most important because if the string winds onto the shaft of the peg that does not turn it could "snag" and snap. Now replace the string making certain that it winds onto the central spline, the part of the shaft that turns. The end of the peg can than be rounded in the traditional way.Īgain at this point make certain that all traces of peg paste have been removed from the peg shaft. Once this is positioned properly the peg can be removed and the shaft end carefully cut off with a hack saw. In fact if the central spline is positioned 0.5 mm inside the wood of the peg box it is most effective. ![]() The peg is fitted correctly once it is pushed hard into position and the central spline is flush with the inside edge of the peg box. Than a wooden peg so during the reaming process it is best to ream a little then slide the peg into the peg box, pushing it in firmly so you can gauge how much more reaming is required.ĭon't forget that the peg should be pushed out from the shaft end, not pulled by the button. It is now necessary to carefully ream the peg box so that when the WITTNER® Finetune-Peg is fitted the central spline of the peg (the part that turns) is flush to the inside edge of the peg box.īe aware that because the WITTNER® Finetune-Peg is of a composite material it tends to slide further into the peg box Do not pull on the peg button.Īt this point before you start to ream the peg box it is most important that the WITTNER® Finetune-Peg is carefully cleaned to remove any peg paste residue that might have adhered to it from the peg box. Remove the WITTNER® Finetune-Peg from the peg box by pushing the end of the shaft. Then gently slide the replacement WITTNER® Finetune-Peg into the peg box to enable you to judge how much reaming of the peg box is required. Remove the first peg that is to replaced. This is better for the well being of your instrument as it keeps it under a more constant tension.įor Violin the recommended sequence is A, D, E, G. It is recommended that one peg at a time is replaced rather than removing all the old pegs at the same time. ![]() To remove always push the peg out from the shaft end. This is not an issue as the pegs are available separately or in sets.Īt this point it is worth pointing out that during the fitting process and in the future once fitted the WITTNER® Finetune-Pegs must never be "pulled" by the peg button. In some cases particularly on older instruments it may be necessary to mix sizes. Refer to the accompanying leaflet listing dimensions. Select the size of WITTNER® Finetune-Peg that is most suitable. These points are highlighted in the following instructions. The process for fitting WITTNER® Finetune-Pegs is very similar to fitting traditional pegs but there are certain parts of the process that need special attention.
