The Original Götz Violin Peg Soap in Aluminium Tube, ZW-96

Yes, this tube is tiny, but for me, it might be a lifetime supply and I have 8 violins! It makes tuning much easier because the pegs turn more smoothly instead of turning in skips and jumps. Reminds me of a crayon, but since one purchase will last me practically forever, I won't be trying a crayon ...

Had several instruments that were exhibiting slipping or sticking pegs (Cellos, Violas, Violins of 3 sizes). Rather than short change it, I decided to go the "whole nine yards". I un-string the instrument (one string at a time so as to not disturb the bridge or soundpost) and applied the compound to the pegs at BOTH bearing points. Properly fitted pegs will bear in the pegbox next to the tip and near the thumb hold, so be sure to treat both areas. Then I restring that particular string, only tightening it to approximate pitch, waiting to re-tune until all pegs had been done. Then I re-tuned the instrument, experiencing the great difference in the ease of turning the pegs as well as the lack of slipping. You still have to exert pressure on the peg toward the pegbox to make it wedge into the tapered holes. With this compound you will not have to fight stuck pegs when you go back to tune the next time.

Good

I had slippy pegs. Like not playable slippy pegs. There was a whole fiasco where my shop didn't fix it so I decided to fix it myself. I got this. Its rock hard. It goes on like a crayon. Wind the peg up and it stays!! Not only that, it holds a pitch too. Some minor flattening but thats expected with a $400 cello i got used at a shop that was closing down. This product saved a dying instrument. And you barely use any so one cellist has it, them and all their friends can fix their instruments. Definitely worth the buy

I just received this. My older violin was very hard to tune - pegs jumped, causing the tune to go over and under pitch. This was easy to apply. Just unwind the string, pull out the peg, rub some of this stuff on, and put the string back in. Instantly smooth turning! This seems like it will last a lifetime, so great value.

Excellent quality product—I recommend it 100%. Reliable seller—A1.

Tuning a violin, especially an old violin, can be a real experience. I am EXTREMELY sensitive to accuracy in the tuning of an instrument. Many are extremely easy to tune, ones like woodwinds and brass. Strings are another story, because they need to be tuned WITHIN THEMSELVES as well as to the rest of the ensemble. Getting the tuning of a violin right is made EXTREMELY difficult when the pegs do not move smoothly. If they tend to bind it is almost impossible to get them to move in almost microscopic increments, something that is essential for a well-tuned instrument. This substance handles that problem immediately. The tuning pegs move like a butterknife through butter. If you have ever used a vernier caliper you will know what I mean when I say that you can alter the tuning in tiny amounts, resulting in a perfectly tuned instrument. Great product. I really do NOT know how I did without it.,

Definitivamente debe ser de uso obligado cada que se cambie una cuerda. Mi violín traqueaba cada que intentaba y lograba girar una clavija. Este artículo cambió radicalmente el juego, añadiéndole la lubricación suficiente para que se deslicen suavemente.

Buono!

Pegs on my French violin very tight. Removed string and apply and issue is fixed.

Exactement ce que je cherchait ! Cela fait 13 ans que je fais du violon, et j'ai voulu passer sur un cordier en bois pour un meilleur son, avec seulement un tendeur mi. Mais je me suis rendu compte que mes chevilles en Pernambouc se dévissaient rapidement et la précision nécessaire pour accorder mon cher violon🎻 n'était pas au rendez vous... en plus avec la forte tension de mes evah pirazzi... En tout cas ça règle tout mes problème ! 15 seconde chrono pur accorder en début de séance, et une lègère reprise au bout 1h 30, ça reste juste, précis, à en rendre inutile un cordier full tendeur (mais le mi me reste indispensable. n'hésitez vraiment pas ça simplifie la vie et celle de votre entourage (si vous faite tourner ^^), il y en a assez pour au moins 3 ans ! Merci

It works. Not much else to say.

Facilita mucho la manipulación de las clavijas a la hora de afinar el violin
