These are the worst, to put it bluntly! Plastic pegs are not that common, but they do can come on low budget violin outfits that are ordered online and when the purchaser didn’t know to check. To understand a little about how different pegs affect the overall sound of the violin, we need to look at the different materials that they are made from.

Our violin pegs are important because they keep our strings at the right tension to stay in tune while we’re playing. Is a peg just a peg? Not really!
