Wittner PGLWM4 Finetune Viola Pegs, 8.6 mm, Geared Tuning, 4-Pack

Wittner Finetune Viola Pegs, 8.6 mm, 4-Pack

The Wittner Finetune Viola Pegs in this 8.6 mm four-pack provide geared pitch adjustment through each peg head. The fitted outer shafts remain stationary while the central string-bearing sections rotate. This set supplies four tuning components for a replacement installation whose peg-hole dimensions match the specified diameter at the ring and taper.

Violists and repair specialists can select this package when planning a complete viola peg replacement. Four same-size components support a coordinated installation when every hole accepts the specified fit. For a geared viola tuning upgrade, assess the diameter and taper before fitting. Wittner lists this option for all viola sizes, but existing hole measurements still determine suitability throughout the pegbox.

Wittner manufactures its Finetune pegs in Germany and provides fitting instructions for string instrument installations. The composite bodies seat in prepared tapered holes, with each string wound onto the rotating central section. A luthier, a specialist who builds and repairs string instruments, can evaluate installation depth and string clearance. Wittner recommends replacing pegs individually during fitting to maintain more consistent tension on the instrument.
