Fine-tuning pegs for violins and plucked string instruments

Abstract

Fine-tuning pegs suitable for violins and plucked string instruments. The hollow shaft body is equipped with a planetary reducer. The input shaft of the planetary reducer is connected to the knob. The shaft body is equipped with a winding shaft. The rear end of the shaft is connected, and the front end of the peg sticks out from the shaft body. The peg has a first threading hole on the shaft outside the shaft, and is equipped with a string hanger. A second threading hole connected to the threading hole, the string hanger and the shaft section of the peg having the string threading hole are axially slidable and circumferentially restricted to rotate, and the front end of the peg is connected with a nut . When the peg is installed on the headstock, the string hanger is in the peg groove, and it can adapt to various headstocks with different widths of the peg grooves. After the peg is installed, pass the string through the string hanger and the string hole on the peg, and then use the manual shaft body to realize rapid and rough adjustment of the string; turn the knob to realize the winding of the peg. Tiny turns for precise fine-tuning of the strings.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a peg for adjusting the tension of strings on stringed instruments and plucked instruments. Background technique [0002] The strings on some stringed instruments (such as Erhu, Jinghu, violin, etc.) and plucked instruments (such as pipa, etc.) are tightened and adjusted by the pegs. Yes: It is inconvenient and difficult to control when fine-tuning the string tension and tuning. In order to realize the precise adjustment of the strings, the basic structure of a peg disclosed by the Chinese patent is: the inside of a shaft body is hollow, and a planetary reducer and a peg are housed in the shaft body. The output shaft of the planetary reducer and the winding One end of the peg is connected, and the other end of the peg protrudes from the front end of the shaft body. There is a string hole on the part where the peg protrudes from the shaft body. The input shaft of the planetary reducer is connected with a manual shaft. The manua...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This kind of peg can precisely adjust the strings, but the problem is that it can only be used on Erhu and Jinghu. For instruments with peg grooves on the headstock, such as violins and plucked instruments, the pegs are installed on the headstock. Finally, the position where the peg wraps the strings is in the peg groove. The above-mentioned peg is difficult to use for an instrument with a peg groove, and it still has limitations in use.
