Set of 4 Wittner 15.5mm Mechanical Pegs for Cello

The Wittner mechanical pegs are an innovative solution designed to eliminate tuning instability associated with traditional wooden pegs. Introduced to the market in the early 21st century by Wittner GmbH, a German company with over 120 years of experience, these pegs have revolutionized cello tuning.

Traditional wooden pegs require frequent adjustments due to friction with the pegbox. Factors such as humidity, temperature changes, and natural wear can cause pegs to slip or become stuck, making tuning difficult.

Wittner pegs feature a precision internal mechanism with high-quality gears. Unlike traditional pegs, this gear reduction system enables smooth and precise fine-tuning without the risk of slipping. This means that strings stay in tune longer, and adjustments can be made more easily and with greater control.

Key Features

• Stable tuning: The gear mechanism prevents tuning from shifting due to climate changes or pegbox wear.
• Effortless tuning: No pressure is required to adjust them, making them easy to use for both beginners and advanced musicians.
• Protects the instrument: As they do not create friction with the wood, they prevent pegbox wear, extending the instrument’s lifespan.

These pegs are a modern and efficient solution for musicians looking to enhance their tuning stability without compromising the sound or structure of their instrument.

It is recommended that installation be performed by a luthier or an experienced professional to ensure an optimal fit and prevent potential damage to the instrument.
