Goetz ZW-96 The Original Violin Peg Compound in Aluminium Tube

Keeps the Violin in tune for longer! Recommended for younger ages while they still can't tune themselves.

This is a Götz product so good quality gear from a trusted manufacturer. However Amazon didn’t take care of the package and it came with the lid squashed.

My pegs had been sticking for ages and it was casusing me to take longer to tune than was practical for performing since I only use a fine tuner on my e. This loosened them up great without causing them to slip.Just bare in mind while this is designed to stop slipping after being applied it is still a lubricant, if you lubricate an already slipping peg more it's going to keep slipping. What this refers to when it says it prevents slipping is that its designed so your sticky pegs don't go to the opposite extreme and start slipping as can happen when you use regular soap. Use the right tool for the right job, if its not moving as much as it should use this, if its moving more than it should use some chalk or rosin.

I've found this to be a great product. I've used it on two vintage violins, one with slipping pegs and one with slightly stiff, occasionally sticking pegs; in both scenarios it fixed the problem, all pegs work perfectly now. I would imagine a little stick of this should last a very long time as only a tiny amount was required.

Wish I had bought some 8 months ago when I first bought violin. Makes tuning so much easier, no sticky tuning pegs. If you think you might need some because you can't make small adjustments of peg, just do it, you will be glad you did!

Used it to free the movement of violin pegs having paid £5 for an unused neglected violin. Immediately effective.

Help to solve my need

Did nothing for my pegs slipping, made it worse. I used chalk instead worked great.
