PACATO Mechanical Fine-Tuning Peg for Violin
Single mechanical tuning peg for violin
A revolution in violin tuning: secure fit in the peg hole, precise internal mechanism and significantly easier string changes.
Precision and stability in the pegbox
The PACATO mechanical tuning peg sits securely in the peg hole of the pegbox. During tuning only the central part rotates.
The shaft itself does not turn in the wood. This avoids friction and allows tuning to be smooth, fast and very precise.
Mechanical rotation instead of friction
The design prevents the shaft from rotating inside the peg hole. This eliminates friction between peg and wood.
It protects the instrument permanently and prevents wear on both peg and peg hole.
- Peg sits securely in the peg hole
- Only the central mechanism rotates during tuning
- Shaft does not rotate – no friction in the wood
- No wear on peg or peg hole
Self-locking gear for stable tuning
The integrated self-locking gear ensures reliable tuning stability. The string cannot unwind unintentionally.
This makes string replacement easier and allows controlled, even string tension.
- String cannot unwind unintentionally
- Smooth, fast and very precise tuning
- Significantly easier string changes
