How to Fit Violin Pegs

[@amezcuaist]

Amazingly clear explanations.I never knew about reversing the reamer or how to clean up that section near the peg grip or the soap . A perfect video .

Thank you for this clear explanation. It's very helpful.

Why would you need to ream out the hole you just replace them with the ones that fit already but how do you find out what size pegs you have that's the problem I'm having and if you measure them what part of them do you measure of course where

I have Herdim, Juzek, and home-made peg shapers... But you, Sir, have acquainted me with a process that clearly eclipse's what I have learned previously... Having watched your video, I now know how to use them. Thank you for lighting the candle and leading me through the darkness! Wonderful video that will benefit many and keep thousands and thousands of poorly-cut pegs out of the waste bin. Again, thank you!

I was looking, in my junk box, for something to use as a suppressor. Low and behold I found a WW1 Japanese Arisaka cleaning tool. It's perfect. The tool was found on a battlefield in Lithuania. (Russia bought thousands of Japanese Rifle in WW1)

Love your video, very clear and concise! I am interested in working on my violin pegs and was wondering how to figure out whether the peg reamer I would need is a 20:1 or 30:1? Any advice would be appreciated.

Great video thanks, but am still awaiting a short yet imperative tutorial on showing the bond between the reamer with the peg shaper in order to have the correct ratio, or else it’s conjecture.

[@djysmallman2183]

Are the peg shapers usually factory set correct,y to begin with?, as can’t find enough info on how the sizing on the shaper corresponds to the reamer shift. How accurate together are they usually without adjustments?…or else it makes life harder to match them thanks.

Try removing the blades and then put metal polish on the reamer .Reverse the turning action inside the peg cutter and see how well it all matches.
