IMPORTANT: consult the illustration in the photos above to get the exact size of these pegs, to assure a good fit with your instrument.
IN THE PACKAGE YOU GET three (3) right turning pegs and three (3) left turning pegs.
You need to have an existing peg hole the dimension of A: (see above) or enlarge an existing hole to that dimension.
These pegs are suitable for banjos, baritone ukes, citterns, and even some guitars with smaller pegboxes.
Dimension A: This is the dimension of the hole at it's narrowest, on the backside, so that by "screwing in" the peg, it will sit snugly in the pegbox -
9mm
Dimension B: Length from peghead grip to peg end past the string.
52.5mm
Dimension C: distance from peg entrance into pegbox to string hole:
46mm
OVERALL LENGTH:
80.5 mm
These Pegheds pegs are brand new, never used. Part of a an overstock from a luthier's shop. I have zillions of them, in all sizes, for all instruments.
A patented planetary gear system gives PEGHEDS™ their legendary smoothness and precision
4:1 gear reduction allows strings to be tuned more easily and accurately than traditional wood pegs (or Caspari-type mechanisms which require screw drivers or special keys). Tune confidently and securely with the left hand while playing open strings with the bow; even during performance!
PEGHEDS™ return the fine-tuning function to pegs. Strings slide more freely over the smooth, wide nut than over the comparatively sharp edge of the bridge, where stress is concentrated and equilibrium of tension on either side is more difficult to achieve.
PEGHEDS™ gear reduction prevents sudden and repeated wrenching of pegs by novices. Strings have longer lives in the hands of young students. Bumps and shocks sustained during transport will not cause complete loss of string tension which results in fallen sound posts, broken strings, and unnecessary trips to the music store.
PEGHEDS™ eliminate the need for fine tuners; consequently, there are fewer parts to rattle and buzz. In fact, Pegheds have fewer parts than any other type peg used with long-arm string adjusters.
PEGHEDS™ eliminate the unnecessary weight, mass, and muting effects of metal tuners and metal tailpieces.
PEGHEDS™ have a brake mechanism with variable friction. Push in to increase resistance, pull out to decrease; exactly like a traditional wood peg.
PEGHEDS™ install in the scroll in a similar manner as traditional wood pegs, using a standard reamer. There are no disfiguring holes to drill. No screws are required for installation.
