Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/117367
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention relates to a tuning peg for a stringed instrument, in particular a guitar, having a winding section (3), on which a string (15) runs, and a fastening means for fixing a free end (16) of the string (15), which is improved in such a manner that a possibility of fixing a string end is created, which is secure and non-slip and can be obtained with little effort, and considerably reduces excessively high stress on the string end and thus the risk of breaking or tearing the string with respect to the prior art. To this end, a tuning peg according to the invention comprises the following elements: i) a clamping element (8), ii) an abutment section (4) on the tuning peg (1) and a retaining section on the tuning peg (1), wherein the retaining section and the clamping element (8) are set up in such a manner that the clamping element (8) can be displaced axially on the tuning peg (1) along the retaining section and locked in a clamping position, and wherein the clamping element (8) and the abutment section (4) are set up in such a manner that they can clamp and retain a longitudinal section of the free end (16) of the string (15) between one another.
