French Model Boxwood Peg for Violin

General Description of the French Model Boxwood Peg for Violin

The French model boxwood pegs for violin are a traditional and refined choice, widely used in lutherie for their lightweight and easy adjustability. Made from boxwood, they allow for precise and stable tuning, thanks to their excellent workability and fitting capability in the pegbox.

The French model, with its elegant design and slightly oval-shaped head, provides a comfortable grip and a classic aesthetic that blends seamlessly with the instrument. Its smooth surface and progressive fit ensure uniform rotation, preventing slipping or unwanted sticking.

These pegs are unfinished, meaning that installation requires specialized tools, such as a peg shaper and reamer, to ensure a precise and secure fit in the pegbox. Additionally, the shaft has a wider diameter, allowing for adaptation in repair and replacement work, matching the existing pegbox dimensions.

Due to their lower density compared to woods like ebony, these pegs reduce weight in the scroll, enhancing the violin’s vibration and contributing to a more balanced acoustic response.

An ideal choice for luthiers and violinists seeking precise adjustment, stability, and a natural aesthetic for their instrument.
