Special Features of the award-winning Academy Series:

Tuning has never been easier: 
Wittner's Finetune pegs are a genuine revelation for player of all standards, with even seasoned professionals choosing to fit them to the very finest instruments. But these discreet, internally geared pegs make life so much simpler for students too!

Traditionally, most bowed instruments are tuned using wooden pegs, which are wedged into the wooden holes of the pegbox at the top of the instrument, with simple friction keeping them in place. When the strings needed to be tuned therefore, for the pegs to turn, they would have to be loosened, turned and then pushed back in. This process can take a little force and isn't the easiest or most accurate for inexperienced hands. Plus, over time the pegs can slip therefore losing their pitch or stick making them hard to turn and tune. 
Any teacher or student will tell you the amount of time wasted at the beginning or during lessons getting their student instrument up to pitch, and having it stay there!

The clever, German-engineering employed in Wittner's Finetune pegs allows the student or professional to turn the internally geared peg in a controlled way, without the main shaft of the peg ever losing contact with the pegbox. This means you can make tiny, incremental increases or decreases in pitch - just like tuning a guitar. Getting your instrument in tune, and keeping it there has literally never been easier. So now your precious time can be spent on learning and playing not tuning.. and re-tuning.

Finetune Pegs look like traditional pegs on the outside. All the clever stuff is hidden inside.

Finetune Pegs will save hours of wasted lesson time for students and teachers.

Finetune Pegs are fitted as standard to Hidersine Academy and Finetune instruments.

Finetune Pegs are also chosen by seasoned professional players. They're even fitted to virtuoso Elizabeth Pitcairns c1720 Red Mendelssohn Stradivarius Violin! How's that for a vote of confidence?

Finetune pegs are also available to buy separately for Violin, Viola and Cello.
