The invention discloses a structure for adjusting and keeping string tension, belongs to the technical field of string instrument accessories, and is suitable for string instruments with tuning pegs, such as
violin,
cello, erhu, lute and the like. The structure comprises a peg body and a
headstock, one end of the peg body is provided with a knob, the other end of the peg body is provided with a string clamping groove, and the outer wall of the cylindrical section is provided with one or more protrusions; and a matched groove part is arranged at the corresponding position of the tuning peg hole of the
guitar head. During tuning, the knob is rotated to adjust the tension of the string to a target
pitch, and the tuning peg body is pulled to clamp the convex part into the groove part, so that the rotation of the tuning peg can be limited, and the tension of the string is stabilized to keep intonation. According to the tuning peg, reliable rotation resistance torque is provided through accurate clamping of the protruding part and the groove part, and the problems that a traditional tuning peg is prone to loosening and sound runout due to
interference fit and a threaded structure, and an external stop device is complex in structure, large in
assembly difficulty, inconvenient to use and high in price are solved. The locking device has the advantages of being reliable in locking, simple in structure, convenient to operate, resistant to abrasion and durable, low in
machining cost, wide in
adaptation range and low in purchase and use cost, and intonation stability and playing experience of the stringed instrument can be remarkably improved.
