Knilling planetary pegs
These pegs are working great. I would never put them on an antique instrument, but for the average player's newer instrument, particularly a student's, it's well worth the $81. And they look perfectl…

Just finished installing the planetary pegs from Knilling. Only a little minor hole reaming was required. I noticed a change in sound projection, but then I also fitted a new bridge and removed the f…

Knilling planetary pegs
Thanks. I ordered a set from amazon.com, $81 total. I've done some instrument work before so I'm going to install them myself. So far, I've heard nothing but good reviews on them.

I'm working on a story that I started 16 years ago set in 1943 Nazi Germany. Originally it was supposed to be biographical, but I lost touch years ago with the woman it was about so it's become more historical fiction loosely based on real events. T…
Just started a bio called "Alma Rose: Vienna to Auschwitz." Alma Rose, niece of Gustav Mahler, was a Jewish violinist who was captured at the peak of her career and taken to Auschwitz concentration camp where she was forced to organize and conduct a…
These pegs are working great. I would never put them on an antique instrument, but for the average player's newer instrument, particularly a student's, it's well worth the $81. And they look perfectly natural, no fine tuners needed. I'm happy with t…
Hi. New to the group. I play electric guitar in a contemporary Christian Rock band at my church. I'm also trying to work the violin into the service as well. I play hymns along with the pianist. I'm learning to read music though I still rely more on…

I note that in the latest Strings magazine Witner has an ad for planetary type pegs also. It implies that they are a direct replacement (i.e. no modifications necessary).
Does anyone know if the perfection planetary pegs change the sound of a violin in any way? Does anyone have personal experience in this area?
Finished "Vivaldi's Virgins." Awesome, one of my favorites. Now reading "Tuesdays With Morrie" by Mitch Albom. My son read it in English class and loved it.

My wife bought me a violin for Christmas '08 and I love it! I'm hooked. Having played guitar for over 25 years as well as banjo and mandolin, I had some idea of how to start. I found having no frets to actually be liberating in a way. My style is more folk fiddle than violin but I listen to classical music a lot as well and would like to develop that kind of precision and finesse. I don't expect to become a great soloist, but I do love playing music and I love the violin.
