  ConCarbo CF tailpiece with mini levers

  Another ConCarbo tailpiece option for cellists without Pegheds or other geared pegs is this “twill” French style model with mini levers.  The gallery photos show the back and side view of the tailpiece so you can appreciate how the string loads from the back for a clean look on the front, with less weight.  Since all our cellos have Pegheds, we don’t use this model here at the shop but can order it if it doesn’t happen to be in stock when you inquire.  Options for the tailpiece itself include black matte or shiny in addition to the “twill.”    We can special order this for you.

  Stringvision Posture Pegs

  Posture Pegs from Stringvision afford freedom of movement by eliminating the protruding peg heads. Tuning is accomplished by means of a removable key with grip. The peg shank is a blackwood blank, tapering from 14mm at the collar to 12.5 mm at the small end, 6.3 cm in length.  It must be shaped and fit by a luthier to the existing peg hole.  Set of 2 pegs includes two shanks and two keys.  *The steel sleeve is 2 cm long, so if you want to use these pegs in a fractional cello, make sure the peg diameter is thick enough so as not to interfere.

  Pegheds (offered here only in our cellos)

  PegHeds are the original geared pegs, and are made in Winnsboro, SC by Chuck Herin.  Once installed, all you need is a thumb and index finger to tune and the peg stays put.  When humid summer weather causes friction pegs to swell and stick, or dry winter air causes shrinking and slippage, Pegheds  will hold firmly.  Prices vary with wood variety and style.  Pegs must be ordered to fit your specific cello, or you may be able to have your own pegs retrofit in some instances.  Nearly every cello here has Pegheds installed, and we highly recommend them.  If you are wishing you could use a Posture Peg, please note the stubby C peg available, which is pictured in the product gallery.  We no longer sell sets of PegHeds here, but do have them installed in cellos we sell.  We love to promote and explain them.  Go to PegHeds official website to order.
