Musaica Fine Fittings - French 4/4 Violin Pegs in Ebony Review

Musaica Fine Fittings - French 4/4 Violin Pegs in Ebony
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have a cheap violin so no need to play with expensive pegs and since my current pegs are cheap and one snapped in half I needed some. My current pegs were hard to turn simply because they had an awkward shape and on a cheap violin it gets harder to do and one broke. It was easier just to have all new pegs put in over keeping the cheap ones. Of course I had to take them to a music store to have them put in my violin and holes drilled for the strings. When I got it back from the music store I discovered they are very easy to turn and shaped with a nice contour to make it easy. These work great for me but odds are if you have a nicer violin than these pegs won't fulfill what you need so you're better off going for nicer. The way they feel are kind of like a cheap wood and don't feel like they are the most durable or are going to even last a long time. Whenever I am good at violin than I will probably go with different pegs on a upgraded violin. Overall though it has made tuning my strings a heck of a lot easier over my cheap pegs and believe me I am very happy with that fact.

Perfection Planetary Violin Pegs, Set For Violin, 4/4 Size Review

Perfection Planetary Violin Pegs, Set For Violin, 4/4 Size
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My wife decided that learning violin was something in her bucket list so we got her a cheap instrument off an online bulletin board. The instrument was in OK shape, except the pegs slipped horribly and she struggled because the violin kept falling out of tune.
So that's where this product steps in. These pegs are geared down 4:1 so the tuning isn't "twitchy" and it's easy to get your pitch and keep it. As for installing these, you'll probably need to take this to a repair-shop; it is an involved process and it'd be easy to destroy your ax. Also be aware, that the pegs are literally glued into the peg box with epoxy. Once you've gone to planetary tuners you can never go back, period. But that's not an issue because the tuners work fantastically.
Here's the exact instructions:
Step 1-2
Reaming the peg hole with a 1:30 violin peg taper.
Step 3-8
Cut the peg to the proper length.
Step 9:
Moisten the peg hole with water
Step 10:
Apply a bead of polyurethane glue
Step 11:
Screw the peg in until the threads are flush with the peg box
Step 12:
wipe off any excess glue. Allow glue to dry completely before installing strings

We received this violin and were not pleased. There appeared to be a sloppy glue job on the neck, touched up paint on the chin rest, and a crack by the F hole. We returned this violin for a refund, so we cannot say how it played.
