Wittner PGLWL1 Finetune Single Viola Peg, 9.2 mm, Geared Tuning

Wittner Finetune Single Viola Peg, 9.2 mm

The Wittner Finetune Single Viola Peg in the 9.2 mm size provides geared pitch adjustment through the peg head. Its fitted outer shaft remains stationary while the central string-bearing section rotates. This individual component supports replacement of one tuning peg when its diameter at the ring and taper match the instrument's pegbox.

Violists and repair specialists can select this option when sourcing a single replacement tuning peg or planning an instrument upgrade. For a geared viola peg replacement, the specified diameter and shaft taper help establish fit. Wittner lists this option for all viola sizes, but existing peg-hole measurements still determine installation suitability. A measured assessment supports a viola tuning hardware upgrade tailored to the instrument.

Wittner manufactures its Finetune pegs in Germany and provides fitting instructions for string instrument installations. The composite body seats in a prepared tapered hole, with the string wound onto the rotating central section. A luthier, a specialist who builds and repairs string instruments, can assess installation depth and string clearance. Correct positioning lets the moving section carry the string while the surrounding shaft stays fixed.
