French Model Boxwood Peg for Cello

General Description of the French Model Boxwood Peg for Cello

The French model boxwood pegs for cello are a classic choice in lutherie, known for their lightness, ease of adjustment, and refined aesthetics. Made from boxwood, they provide precise tuning and stable intonation while reducing weight in the scroll and enhancing the instrument’s vibration.

The French model, with its elegant design and slightly oval-shaped head, ensures a comfortable grip and a seamless integration with the cello. Its smooth surface and excellent workability allow for uniform rotation, preventing unwanted slipping or sticking.

These pegs are unfinished and require specialized tools such as a peg shaper and reamer to achieve an optimal fit in the pegbox. Additionally, the shaft is slightly wider, allowing for adaptation in repair and replacement work, ensuring a precise match to the instrument’s existing setup.

An excellent choice for luthiers and cellists seeking stability, precision, and a natural finish for their instrument.
