Peg Compound
Peg compound, also called peg dope, peg paste, and peg stick, is a lubricating substance that is applied to the part of the peg that touches the peg box and minimizes friction while simultaneously helping hold the peg in place.
This compound is most helpful on instruments in humid areas where violin wood swells and makes it harder to turn pegs to tune, or in super dry regions where violin wood shrinks and causes pegs to slip.
Note that our violins have been setup properly so our pegs turn smoothly and it's not necessary to purchase peg compound. We stock it as a convenience to players who need it for their older instruments.
