Our home page is www.pegheds.com Here is what Strings Magazine said about PEGHEDS™ "Pegging Perfection If life were a baseball game, inventor John Charles Herin would just have hit a home run. Pegheds (patent pending), similar to those used on guitars and basses, are a versatile alternative to traditional wooden violin pegs and are slated to hit the market in April 1999. These new pegs offer several advantages. First, Pegheds eliminate the need for fine tuners, thus reducing the number of parts that could potentially buzz or rattle. Fewer parts also mean less weight and less muting. And eliminating fine tuners returns the fine-tuning function to the pegs, which is more efficient from an engineering standpoint: strings slide more freely over a smooth, wide nut than over a sharp-edged bridge. Furthermore, Pegheds' design prevents sudden, repeated wrenching of pegs by novices and children, thereby adding more life to a set of strings. Slippage is also less likely to occur. And tuning can be done confidently and securely with the left hand while bowing open strings—even during performances! This is a great time-saver for teachers. Yet another important feature of Pegheds is their variable friction-braking mechanism. Simply push in to increase resistance, pull out to decrease. Basically, this means no more messy peg compounds. One could perform in Bangor, Maine, in the morning and Savannah, Georgia, in the evening without worry. Pegheds are easily installed and removed in the same manner as traditional wooden pegs; there are no new holes to drill, no screws involved, and no glue. Pegheds are sure to score big with professional and amateur performers and teachers. ..." —Robert Rieve More info about PEGHEDS™ A patented planetary gear system gives PEGHEDS™ their legendary smoothness and precision. PEGHEDS™ 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. |
