Pegwax – Available for Purchase – Technical and Musical Help

Pegswax, as earlier mentioned, is a simple but practical way of instantly elevating your violin technique and artistry through ease of tuning, and by way of an immediate help for pitching on your instrument.

All too often, pegs are difficult to turn, and, as a consequence, difficult to control, or to allow for pitch control.

Pegs that are properly adjusted – through pegs wax – will allow for a more precise and consistent foundation to your sound through intonation, and in a simple and foundational way.

To this end, it is highly recommended that you keep some pegs wax on hand.

Instead of pegs wax that comes by way of a liquid, or something that is kept in a tin, which might spill or drip if carried or ported around, I here recommend pegsswax that is designed to come out of a tube, like lip stick, or lip balm, which can be kept and used conveniently even while on the road.

Not only does Pirsastro offer a good formulation, its design – in a tube with a cap, as opposed to a cake, or as drops – allows for ease and efficacy of application – simply twist it open – and in a handy and ideal way – it cane be applied without dirtying one’s hands, can be kept in violin cases, and is easy, ideal, and convenient.

Simply open the cap, twist, and apply; then untwist, and store. The Pirastro formulation is safe and effective, and comes extremely recommended as a professional violinist, educator, and researcher. 

Here is a link to one that I recommend – you can purchase it right here, through this link.

It is sold as a peg compound.

Enjoy the improvements it will offer to your violin tuning and sound!
