Do not pull on the peg button.Īt this point before you start to ream the peg box it is most important that the WITTNER® Finetune-Peg is carefully cleaned to remove any peg paste residue that might have adhered to it from the peg box. Remove the WITTNER® Finetune-Peg from the peg box by pushing the end of the shaft. Then gently slide the replacement WITTNER® Finetune-Peg into the peg box to enable you to judge how much reaming of the peg box is required. Remove the first peg that is to replaced. This is better for the well being of your instrument as it keeps it under a more constant tension.įor Violin the recommended sequence is A, D, E, G. It is recommended that one peg at a time is replaced rather than removing all the old pegs at the same time. To remove always push the peg out from the shaft end. This is not an issue as the pegs are available separately or in sets.Īt this point it is worth pointing out that during the fitting process and in the future once fitted the WITTNER® Finetune-Pegs must never be "pulled" by the peg button. In some cases particularly on older instruments it may be necessary to mix sizes.

Refer to the accompanying leaflet listing dimensions. Select the size of WITTNER® Finetune-Peg that is most suitable.
