Handmade French Style Violin Peg Set in indian Rosewood with Ebony Pip and Ring
Handmade French Style Violin Peg Set in indian Rosewood with Ebony Pip and Ring
French pegs are valued for their comfortable convex shape. These have an attractive ebony collar and pin, for the collector or player that is looking for a more elegant appearance.
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 quarter sawn rosewood(Dalbergia Latifolia), is harvested in north east India. It is aged in the log for a minimum of two years. Only large logs with the straightest grain are selected for our fittings. Figaro Importers fittings are carved precisely to maximize acoustic performance, strength, and durability.
The dimensions of these pegs are as follows:
Shaft Length: 45 mm
Diameter of Shaft at Collar: 9 mm, 1:25 taper
Thickness of Head: 5.5 mm (at narrowest part)
Overall Length: 75 mm
These pegs are not shaved or drilled, so we recommend installation by a qualified luthier.
