Peg Bushing – tonewood insert for peg hole repair in violin family instruments
Over time, the peg holes of violins, violas, and cellos can become worn or enlarged, causing instability and tuning issues. The peg bushing is a small cylindrical insert made of tonewood, used to restore the original fit of the tuning pegs.
At Elit Music, we offer precisely cut peg bushings from well-seasoned tonewoods like maple or boxwood, ensuring a secure and lasting repair. These bushings are typically glued into reamed or enlarged peg holes, then redrilled to the appropriate size – returning the instrument to proper tuning functionality while preserving its original character.
Essential for luthiers and restorers, peg bushings are a clean, professional solution for tuning peg wear.
