Here are some unusual pegs.Here is a set of cello machine head pegs. I haven't seen any with this "T" shaped machine head. Some violin pegs. They have a knurled knob on one end and a straight slot on the peg head side. These are some old style cello friction pegs. She wanted the pegs to look the same, so I searched through all my old pegs and found one matching peg. On her existing peg, someone had actually glued not only the bushing but also the peg to the bushing. I eventually got it out. Used a new bushing and glued that in. Then replaced the peg. I was able to tune the peg, but after about 3 or 4 days she said the peg started a little but. She brought it back and I took it apart. These pegs are made of metal and plastic. The inner plastic part of the peg wore down was now slipping. Here are most of the steps required to fix that peg. These are old wooden machine pegs. |
