Wittner Violin Tuning Pegs 4/4 8,6

Thank goodness violins are beginning to catch up with the modern world. For so long twisting a 'stick in a hole' has been the crude tuning method used on Violins, Violas etc. These Wittner Tuning Pegs make tuning so easy and accurate. Very easy to fit to a standard modern violin and with care and a router easy to fit to an older 'non standard instrument'. (I had to re cut the holes to the correct taper in my son's vintage violin). I realise the 'traditionalists' will 'huff and puff' at using these tuning pegs on an old quality violin but they have no effect on the sound quality of the instrument, make tuning much much easier, and allow you to fit a quality tailpiece without those sound altering string adjusters, so what's not to like?

I love these pegs, and have all of my violins fitted with them. It is a bit scary as they are mechanical mean if they stop working, i am out of luck. It is too bad that they look a little too plastic but mostly people don't even notice. Functionally it works amazing, my violin is almost always in tune and tuning is extremely easy. Also the fact that I can use a standard tail piece without the volume reduction of other fine tuners. If you look at it from a technical point of view, the pegs have pretty much 0 effect on sound so it makes sense that the fine tuning happens in the pegs so the sound is 100% your original violin.
