Wittner 276114M-UK Ukulele Mechanical Peg

The Wittner mechanical peg is an innovation developed to solve tuning and stability issues associated with traditional friction pegs. Introduced in the early 21st century by Wittner GmbH, a German company with over 120 years of experience manufacturing string instrument accessories, this peg has transformed ukulele tuning.

Traditional pegs require constant adjustments due to friction with the pegbox wood. Humidity, temperature changes, and wear can cause the pegs to slip or stick, making tuning difficult.

The Wittner peg incorporates a precision internal mechanism based on high-quality gears. Unlike traditional pegs, this 8.5:1 gear reduction system allows fine and progressive adjustment without the risk of slippage. This means strings stay in tune longer and tuning can be done smoothly and effortlessly.

Main features

• Excellent tuning stability: The internal gear prevents tuning shifts due to climate or wear.
• Friction-free fine adjustment: No direct contact between the peg and wood, avoiding jams and slips.
• Tool-free installation: Installs by pressure like a traditional peg, no glue or screws required.
• High-tech materials: Made of advanced composite and lightweight alloy.
• Traditional look: Classic appearance with modern internal improvements.
• Made in Germany: Assured quality, precision, and durability.

This peg is a modern and efficient solution for musicians looking to improve ukulele tuning stability without compromising the sound or structure of the instrument.

Installation should be carried out by a luthier or qualified professional to ensure proper fit and avoid damage.
