Wittner Finetune Pegs are made in Germany, where the company has been producing mechanical metronomes since 1895.

The ratio of turning the geared peg is about 8:1, which means you'll need to turn the peg eight times to achieve the same tuning as a standard peg.

This precision tuning makes Wittner Finetune Pegs more predictable, so you'll spend less time searching for the perfect pitch.

The geared pegs are installed by pressing them into the pegbox, without the need for glue, which helps preserve the finish and integrity of your instrument.

The shaft of a Wittner peg stays in a fixed position, allowing you to tune your instrument by turning the peg head, which moves the gears inside.

These Wittner fine tune pegs have received rave reviews from violinists and viola players. Peter H, a verified owner, fitted them to both his instruments and found them to be smooth and precise in action.

The action of the pegs is smooth, with just the right amount of resistance for exact tuning. Once the tension is released, there is no play on the peg and it stays precisely where it was left.

Peter H also appreciated how the black format of the pegs blends with his existing ebony pegs. Persephone C Booth, another satisfied customer, noted that the Wittners look remarkably like wooden pegs.

The Wittners are truly excellent, according to Persephone, and she has no hesitation in recommending them. She does acknowledge that some classical players with antique violins might not want to swap.

Paul, yet another customer, had the pegs fitted by a luthier at Caswells before the pandemic. His instrument is a fine 18th-century one, and the Wittners have benefited it hugely.

Older instruments can suffer if there's too much strain on the pegbox, so the Wittners are a great solution. Paul also appreciated how his instrument now looks even more authentic because there are no fine tuners on the tailpiece.

Here are the key benefits of Wittner fine tune pegs, as mentioned by their satisfied customers:

Standard pegs are a bit imprecise when it comes to tuning, often requiring fine-tuners to make up the difference.

Wooden pegs can slip out of place due to their nature, which is why they're vulnerable to slipping.

The wood on pegs and pegboxes wears out over time, causing friction and making them even more prone to slipping.

To prevent slipping, make sure to keep your pegs and pegboxes clean and dry.

If you notice your pegs are slipping, try tightening the pegbox or replacing the pegs if necessary.

Here are some common issues to look out for:

Pegs made from composite alloy material are more resistant to physical damage than wooden pegs.

They won't shrink or expand due to external factors like weather, temperature, and humidity, which can cause problems for wooden pegs.

This means the pegs will stay in good condition for a longer period.

The fixed position of the shaft also reduces friction with the pegbox, protecting it from long-term wear and tear.

In fact, pegs made from composite alloy material won't slowly grind away at the pegbox like wooden pegs do.

This can help extend the life of your instrument and keep it sounding its best.

Standard wood pegs can be imprecise when turning, making it difficult to achieve perfect pitch.

The tapered shaft of a standard peg acts as a wedge, relying on friction against the pegbox to stay in place. This can lead to slipping out of position.

Wooden pegs aren't fixed to a single position, making them vulnerable to slipping out of place.

Wood rubbing on wood creates friction, causing the surfaces to wear out over time.

The pegs and pegbox will eventually smooth out, leaving them even more susceptible to slipping.
