Hidersine Hiderpaste Peg Paste Review

After moving from a slightly humid climate to a very, very dry climate, the pegs in my cello shrank, and the silly thing wouldn't stay in tune. Literally, I would turn the pegs to tune the strings and they wouldn't even try to stay in place. In less than a second, I was out of tune again, making my cello unplayable. I bought this peg paste/peg glue, ran it over the ends of each of the pegs, and it worked like a charm! My cello is playable again!
The "paste" is actually like a small wax disc inside the tin. You just take the disc out of the tin and make a few marks down the sides of the pegs with the side of the disc. Then wrap your string on your peg as usual and you're ready to go.

Hidersine Hiderpaste is a useful companion for any string player. Hiderpaste is a multi-purpose peg paste which prevents both the slipping and binding of tempremental violin, viola and cello pegs. Highly recommended!

Becker BB1 Violin Bridge 4/4 Review

Becker BB1 Violin Bridge 4/4

This is a typical maple 4/4 violin bridge. Mine actually showed up with a ding on the top edge. I just lowered the action a little by sanding down that edge and the nick was removed, but still . . . I wasn't happy being sold damaged goods. The inside scroll work looks good and the edges are crisp: I don't have any complaints otherwise.
This definitely isn't a drop in replacement. You will have to sand the feet to sit flatly against your sounding board since every violin is different. You'll also need to bevel the top edge and notch it to hold the strings. Do an internet search for how to fit a violin bridge and you should be able to do it yourself. The only supplies you need are a sheet of 220 grit sandpaper and razor blade / tiny file (to cut the notches).
I say 4 stars instead of 5 because of the minor top edge damage.
