French Model Boxwood Peg for Viola

General Description of the French Model Boxwood Pegs for Viola

The French model boxwood pegs for viola are a traditional and functional choice, widely used in lutherie for their lightness and ease of adjustment. Made from boxwood, they provide precise tuning and stable intonation thanks to their excellent workability.

The French model, with its elegant design and slightly oval-shaped head, ensures a comfortable grip and a classic aesthetic that blends harmoniously with the instrument. Its smooth surface and progressive adjustment allow for uniform rotation, preventing unwanted slipping or sticking.
