Berdani Violin Pegs – Vieuxtemps Model made from English Boxwood
Handcrafted by master luthier Daniel Hiller
The Berdani violin pegs in the Vieuxtemps style are inspired by the pegs of the world-famous
Guarneri del Gesù “Vieuxtemps” and reinterpret their historical design through precise handcraftsmanship.
These pegs combine classic aesthetics with high functionality and comfortable everyday use.
Each set of pegs is handcrafted by master luthier Daniel Hiller and carefully adjusted for precise fitting,
reliable tuning stability, and a harmonious integration into the overall appearance of the instrument.
Design & Playing Comfort
The Vieuxtemps model is characterized by fine decorative details on the peg head as well as in the central section.
This artistic design is based on the historical original and gives the instrument an elegant, classic appearance.
The rings are turned directly from the English boxwood and are therefore an integral part of the peg.
This results in a clean, high-quality look without additional material transitions.
Special attention has been given to ergonomics: the edges are softly rounded, allowing the peg to sit comfortably
in the hand and enabling smooth and precise tuning. The balanced shape supports fine control and secure handling
in daily use.
Material – English Boxwood
The pegs are made from high-quality English boxwood, a traditional material used in historical instrument making.
The wood stands out for its fine structure, high stability, and pleasant feel.
English boxwood allows for precise fitting in the pegbox and ensures reliable tuning stability while maintaining smooth operation.
Its balanced weight supports quiet function and long-lasting durability.
The surface is finely sanded with pure linseed oil and then polished with natural wax.
This creates a natural, breathable finish with a comfortable grip.
The packaging is made exclusively from sustainable, recycled materials and reflects Berdani’s commitment
to responsible craftsmanship.
