Handmade Swiss Style Viola Peg Set in Ceylonese Ebony

Swiss pegs are valued for their comfortable convex shape and the fact that they are made completely from a single piece of wood (there are no attached rings, collars, or inlay). Their concave shape makes them easy to grasp. Pegs by Figaro Importers are of the finest quality materials and design. Figaro fine fittings are made only from the best sourced materials and finished by hand by craftsmen in a family owned business. We do recognize the impossibility of the maker to insure that every peg will turn perfectly due to the natural inconsistency of the wood, so we include 5 pegs in the set. It is a bonus and quality assurance you will get nowhere else. The Ebony (Diospyros ebenum) is pure black, harvested in Sri Lanka or the Chotonagpur Plateau in India. Then it is aged to assure stability and quarter sawn before being made into the individual parts. Figaro Importers fittings are carved precisely to maximize acoustic performance, strength, and durability. The dimensions of these pegs are as follows: Shaft Length: 52 mm Diameter of Shaft at Collar: 10.3 mm Thickness of Head: 9 mm - 6 mm Overall Length: 78 mm These pegs are not shaved or drilled, so we recommend installation by a qualified luthier. You will never find a superior product anywhere at this reasonable price!
