## Description

Hill Original Whirling Soap, whirling chalk, easy to apply due to ready-to-use packaging in rotatable plastic tube.

Review: Magic stuff - 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.
Review: Peg paste that does the job! - 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.

## Features

- PREVENTS SLIPPING: Beyond just lubrication, the unique formula ensures a firm grip on the pegbox, preventing pegs from slipping back and causing your instrument to go out of tune.
- VERSATILE & EFFECTIVE: Suitable for all bowed string instruments, including violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. It works effectively in all climates, ensuring reliable performance wherever you play.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you apply this to the pegs. Do you need to remove them completely? New to cello tuning and never had this with issue with my violin!**
A: For best results remove the peg and apply paste sparingly around the shaft of it, then wipe it around the shaft with a soft cloth to work it into the wood and remove any excess. Then tune up again. I find a little goes a long way. Make sure you’re applying some slight inward pressure on the peg while tuning up. If slipping continues you’d need to see a luthier to get a new peg reamed to fit the hole correctly.

**Q: does this stop pegs from slipping?**
A: This Hill peg paste works extremely well and stops the pegs from slipping

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just peg paste
*by L***U on 30 September 2013*

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.
