Description
Classic Look
Now with wooden peg heads, Knilling Perfection Planetary Pegs offer student, amateur, and professional musicians ease of tuning with a classic look. Made from ebony or rosewood and available in Swiss or Hill models, these pegs are virtually identical to conventional pegs when installed, and look as good as they feel and function. They are easy to install, safe for the instrument, and eliminate the need for fine tuners. Terrific for older players with arthritis or a weakened grip.
The Challenge of Tuning
Most players will admit that tuning with traditional friction pegs leaves considerable room for improvement. Friction pegs slip or stick depending on humidity and temperature. String adjusters help with fine tuning, but add mass and erode tonal vibrance. A lasting solution to these problems begins with innovation with an eye towards tradition.
Pioneering Use of Technology
The use of a tuning peg is not new. The use of a geared mechanism is not new. Combine the two and you have something revolutionary. The Perfection Planetary Peg combines synthetic material with geared technology to create a peg which is resistant to humidity and temperature; holding its string to create consistent tuning and allow for increased playing time, not tuning time.
