PACATO Mechanical Fine-Tuning Pegs for Violin – Set of 4
Complete set of mechanical tuning pegs for violin (4 pegs)
Precise tuning, reliable tuning stability and significantly easier string changes – with a mechanical peg set for the entire instrument.
Key benefits at a glance:- Easy and highly precise tuning
- Self-locking gear for excellent tuning stability
- No shaft rotation in the wood – reducing wear
Precision and stability in the pegbox
The PACATO mechanical fine-tuning pegs sit securely and firmly in the peg holes. During tuning, only the central part is moved.
The shafts do not rotate in the wood, which avoids friction and makes tuning easy, fast and highly precise.
Mechanical rotation instead of friction
The design prevents the shafts from rotating in the peg holes. This means there is no friction between the peg and the wood.
It helps protect the instrument over time and prevents wear on both the pegs and the peg holes.
- Pegs sit firmly and securely in the peg holes
- Only the central part moves during tuning
- Shafts do not rotate – therefore no friction in the wood
- No wear on pegs and peg holes
Self-locking gear for secure tuning
The integrated self-locking gear provides reliable tuning stability. The strings cannot unwind unintentionally.
This is especially helpful when changing strings and allows controlled, even tension across all four strings.
- Strings cannot unwind unintentionally
- Easy, fast and highly precise tuning
- Significantly easier string changes
Installation and construction
Installation is carried out without glue. The 1:30 taper is designed for use in the pegbox.
The complete set provides a consistent, technically optimized solution for all four peg positions.
