W. E. Hill & Sons Peg Paste (SKU: 1788) - Original Formula for Violin, Viola & Cello Pegs | Industry-Standard Lubricant & Anti-Slip Compound for Smooth, Stable Tuning of Pegs

I own a wonderful handmade fiddle with great tone, but rarely used it because the strings kept slipping and it was difficult to keep in tune. As a last resort, I decided to try Hill's peg compound. I removed all the strings, applied a light rub of the compound to each peg and turned them back and fore quite a few times before replacing the strings. The result was amazing. The pegs turn easily, but don't slip, which means my fiddle now holds its tuning very well. Magic stuff.

My Flamenco guitar was awful to tune, or keep in tune, when it arrived. It was quite old, so I figured that peg maintenance was needed. I applied a little to each peg, worked it in , and re-strung, and there was a huge improvement. Still not perfect, so I did it again. It holds tune now, with no catastrophic detuning, and I do not have to apply so much pressure onto the pegs. I may apply more to see where it goes, but the improvement is massive; from unusable to staying in tune. I assume that your Lute, Double Bass or Violin would benefit just as much. The pegs run smooth now. And when I pickup my guitar, it is in tune from the previous day. That never happened before.

This is just normal peg paste. It's nothing special, it does the job and it was cheap and delivered with great speed.If you need peg paste for a normal student violin I recommend it.

Had slipping pegs. This has kept them very usable until I get to replace the pegs. Still stable after a month, great product.

Great product. Unfortunately I wrote a previous review which I mixed up with a different item from somewhere else which didn't arrive and I can't seem to correct it, apologies

My pegs would just not stay in however much I tried. The product looks very cheap but it does the job.

It does the job! Just don't apply too mich or you'll end up with a slippy peg instead of a sticky one! Can always remove some if that hapoens. Good product, will probably last me forever!

Cost more than other peg pastes but since I had used this product before and loved it, it was worth it to me. Works great and a little goes a long way and lasts.
