Berdani Violin Peg – Vieuxtemps Model in English Boxwood
Handcrafted by Master Luthier Daniel Hiller
The Berdani violin peg in the Vieuxtemps style is inspired by the pegs of the world-famous
Guarneri del Gesù “Vieuxtemps” violin and reinterprets their historic design through precise handcraft.
This peg combines classical aesthetics with high functionality and comfortable handling in daily use.
Each individual peg is handcrafted by master luthier Daniel Hiller and carefully adjusted for a precise fit,
reliable tuning stability, and harmonious integration into the overall appearance of the instrument.
Design & Playing Comfort
The Vieuxtemps model is characterized by its fine decorative details on the peg head and in the central section
of the peg. The refined design is inspired by the historical original and gives the instrument an elegant,
classical appearance.
The rings are turned directly from the English boxwood and are therefore an integral part of the peg.
This creates a clean, refined appearance without additional material transitions.
Particular attention has been given to an ergonomic shape: the edges are softly rounded, allowing the peg
to sit comfortably in the hand and enabling precise and comfortable tuning. The balanced form allows
fine control during tuning and supports secure handling in everyday use.
Material – English Boxwood
The peg is made from high-quality English boxwood, a traditional material in historical
instrument making. The wood is valued for its fine grain, excellent stability, and pleasant tactile feel.
English boxwood allows precise fitting within the pegbox and ensures reliable tuning stability
while maintaining smooth operation. Its balanced weight supports stable function and long-lasting use.
The surface is finely sanded with pure linseed oil and then polished with
natural wax, creating a natural, breathable finish with a pleasant grip.
The packaging is made exclusively from sustainable, recycled materials and reflects Berdani’s commitment
to responsibly packaging high-quality handcrafted products.
