Perfection Planetary Violin Pegs, Set For Violin, 4/4 Size Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife decided that learning violin was something in her bucket list so we got her a cheap instrument off an online bulletin board. The instrument was in OK shape, except the pegs slipped horribly and she struggled because the violin kept falling out of tune.
So that's where this product steps in. These pegs are geared down 4:1 so the tuning isn't "twitchy" and it's easy to get your pitch and keep it. As for installing these, you'll probably need to take this to a repair-shop; it is an involved process and it'd be easy to destroy your ax. Also be aware, that the pegs are literally glued into the peg box with epoxy. Once you've gone to planetary tuners you can never go back, period. But that's not an issue because the tuners work fantastically.
Here's the exact instructions:
Step 1-2
Reaming the peg hole with a 1:30 violin peg taper.
Step 3-8
Cut the peg to the proper length.
Step 9:
Moisten the peg hole with water
Step 10:
Apply a bead of polyurethane glue
Step 11:
Screw the peg in until the threads are flush with the peg box
Step 12:
wipe off any excess glue. Allow glue to dry completely before installing strings

Knilling School Model 4/4 Violin Outfit (Perfection Pegs, Shaped Cover, Wood Bow) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We received this violin and were not pleased. There appeared to be a sloppy glue job on the neck, touched up paint on the chin rest, and a crack by the F hole. We returned this violin for a refund, so we cannot say how it played.

Intelli Metronome & Tuner: IMT-301 with Temperature/Hygrometer Meter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this after seeing my boys' violin teacher using it during one of their lessons. Our first metronome was Seiko SQ50, but its max sound was easily drown out by my boys' violin and piano playing. Then when I first heard how significantly louder this was during one of my boys' violin lessons, I immediately ordered it.
This turns out to be the perfect metronome/tuner for my boys' both violin and piano practices. It not only tunes their violin perfectly each and every time, but it is loud enough that it doesn't get drown out by their playing instruments. Yet, it is small enough to be carried around inside a violin case or in your pocket. Some folks might not appreciate the fact that the source of the sound is on the metronome's back side and not the front. However, the sound is big and clear enough that it makes no difference for us. If we want the loudest sound possible, then we just turn it around.
It comes with a pull out stand, so it can be self-standing on any flat surfaces. The fact that it also functions as a temperature meter (in both farenheit and celcius) and a hygrometer is an absolute plus, as any serious musicians would need to monitor their environment in both the temperature and humidity levels for the safe keeping of their instruments. With this multi-functioning perfect unit, I don't think I'll ever be looking for another.
By the way, it's also a very handsome looking unit -- an additional plus! I'd highly recommend this product.
