This quality peg compound helps lubricate pegs which no longer turn smoothly. This is the original Hill Peg Compound, not an imitation! Review: Good Stuff. Worth the money. - I have an old violin someone gave me, and I was unable to tune it. Possibly because of the weather, but also one of the pegs is different from the other three, the E. It clearly does not fit the peg holes very well, particularly the small end. The others break free with a loud click, then refuse to stay in place once tuned. I have read up on all this, rewound the strings so that they are properly positioned on the peg, tried using pressure as I wound them. Only occasionally would a peg hold tuning, and it was the D string. With the E, I also tried removing the peg, cleaning it, and then putting a little chalk on it and putting it back in. This *kind of* worked, but not reliably. So I ordered the Hill product. I have a couple of comments. First, it is shaped really wierd. It is in a somewhat loose and inaccurate lipstick-style dispenser, the same size as a lipstick. I does not have a convenient shape to the end (hopefully I did not get a used one), so it was not really possible to apply it to the pegs without removing the. Filing into a better shape would have wasted a lot of product. So I removed the pegs, one by one, cleaned them gently and applied the hill to the shiny strips on the pegs. I replaced all the pegs and tuned the violin. Perfectly. And it has stayed in tune. Even the E which I am sure is not making solid contact with the peghead on the small end. It is still not exactly what I would call very easy to tune, I could never do it with one hand while playing the instrument with the bow, but it is OK, just put some pressure on the strings and they tune and hold. My next temp will be to rebuild the peghead, reaming out the holes and putting in new, properly shaped pegs. But the Hills made it possible for me to play this instrument, and it has a very nice sound. Worth the money. Review: the right stuff - I bought a violin with a slipping tuning peg. I tried suggestions of things we have around the house, wax, pencil graphite, etc. but the peg still slipped. I cleaned that other stuff off and applied a little bit of this in the right places and now the peg works great and the fiddle holds tune. ## Features - THE ORIGINAL PEG PASTE: A legendary product from W. E. Hill & Sons, the trusted choice of professional luthiers and string players for decades. The industry-standard solution for sticking or slipping pegs. - SMOOTH TUNING ACTION: Our specially formulated compound provides the perfect balance of lubrication and friction. It eliminates squeaking and sticking, allowing your pegs to turn smoothly and effortlessly for precise tuning. - PREVENTS SLIPPING: Beyond just lubrication, the unique formula ensures a firm grip on the pegbox, preventing pegs from slipping back and causing your instrument to go out of tune. - VERSATILE & EFFECTIVE: Suitable for all bowed string instruments, including violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. It works effectively in all climates, ensuring reliable performance wherever you play. - PLASTIC-FREE AND EASY TO APPLY: The traditional presentation consists of an easily recyclable aluminium tube with the peg paste wrapped in protective foil paper which can be unwrapped the required amount and then re-wrapped once more. This replaces a non-recyclable lipstick-style plastic tube used in previous years. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01BESKXAS | | Best Sellers Rank | #18,951 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #4,395 in Guitar & Bass Accessories | | Brand | W.

Or is it "magic" and can help in either situation? Thank you.** A: In general -- Peg Compound is to allow you to turn the pegs to tune the instrument. This peg compound prevents the pegs from sticking to the instrument (while still holding the peg & tune in place). So I guess the short answer to your question is that peg compound prevents the pegs from getting too tight. **Q: do I have to unwind the strings and take the peg out to use this? -- sorry I'm new with the violin** A: yes,the every peg has to be removed for getting service with any peg compound. please,make the two rings around of every peg,do not touch the area where strings winding going to be ! with my pleasure. **Q: what's the difference between this and Hill the Original Peg Compound?** A: I don't know about the original one. The Hill peg in the tube, you rub it on the peg and when you wind up the string the Hill peg compound keeps the string from slipping. It doesn't take much on the peg. Hope this helped some. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Stuff. Worth the money. *by C***2 on October 18, 2020* I have an old violin someone gave me, and I was unable to tune it.

I tried suggestions of things we have around the house, wax, pencil graphite, etc. but the peg still slipped. I cleaned that other stuff off and applied a little bit of this in the right places and now the peg works great and the fiddle holds tune. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works!! *by M***C on December 14, 2019* My custom-made fiddle wasn't staying in tune, due to temperature changes I think. The Peg Dope was suggested by a friend, and I used it and no more problem, for now at least! My pegs were slipping, but I understand that it also works to lubricate pegs that won't turn easily. Good stuff. I ordered online and the order was here within a couple of days. I have Prime membership, and live 20 miles from the nearest town, so everything (FedEx or UPS) worked all along the way. ## Frequently Bought Together - HILL The Original Peg Compound (HILL-ZW-97) - D'Addario Prelude Violin String Set, 4/4 Scale, Medium Tension – J810 4/4M - Solid Steel Core, Warm Tone, Economical and Durable – Educator’s Choice for Student Strings – 1 Set - The Original Peg Drops by Ardsley - 0.33 Fl.
