Description
Wittner ‘Fine Tune’ violin peg set 7.8mm presents a non-slip solution for violin players by using an internal gearing mechanism so only the middle section of the shaft turns while the rest of the shaft stays locked in place.
When fitted into the peg box, the shaft remains locked and stationary while the only parts that move are the button and the geared middle section of the shaft. Fine Tune pegs have an internal gear ratio of 8.5:1 for very precise tuning. The gear mechanism is also self-inhibiting, meaning that it cannot slip back once it is turned.
The taper on the violin pegs is 1:30 so that they will fit into the peg box as any traditional peg would.
The Wittner Fine Tune pegs retain the traditional hardwood appearance demanded by professional musicians while offering a unique internal gearing system that makes them a revelation to use.
As the peg shaft on the Fine Tune pegs doesn’t move once fitted, there is no wear on the peg box that is found using traditional pegs. There is also no risk of a split peg box because no inward pressure is exerted on the peg box during the tuning of the instrument.
These tuning Pegs should be fitted by a professional violin maker

Violinmaker’s recommendation
“I like these pegs…they are easier to tune and a beginner does not break many strings. They have been long enough on the market now that I can recommend the as they last. It is very important that you never pull on the Wittner fine-tune peg at all not even to remove it as pulling will break the internal gearing system. For the cello these fine tune pegs have a very strong place as many people find it very hard to tune with conventional tuning pegs.
I recommend to always have them fit by a professional violin maker”
