Wittner PGRC Peg Reamer for Cello

Wittner Peg Reamer for Cello

The Wittner Peg Reamer for Cello is a peg-fitting tool used to prepare pegbox holes during instrument setup and repair. Reaming removes material from the hole as part of fitting a tuning peg. This cello-specific tool serves instrument makers and repair technicians working on the fit between peg shafts and pegbox openings.

For workshops handling cello peg replacement, hole preparation forms part of the fitting process. A luthier, or string instrument maker and repairer, evaluates the existing opening and replacement peg before selecting the appropriate tool. This reamer belongs in that preparation workflow, where the instrument's condition and the intended peg determine the work required.

Successful fitting depends on matching the tool's cutting geometry to the peg and assessing the surrounding wood. Technicians should confirm the required taper and working diameter before use. Treat tool selection as part of the complete setup assessment, alongside peg measurements and pegbox condition, to establish an appropriate approach for the individual instrument.
