Waverly Ukulele Friction Pegs
"The smoothest and most consistent-working non-geared ukulele tuning pegs I've ever seen, new or old." —Matt Umanov, Umanov Guitars, NYC
In the early 1900s the ukulele was king. Waverly uke pegs bring back a simple but innovative non-geared design that tuned many fine instruments: the knob screw adjusts the tension, and an internal coil spring provides smoothness and slip-resistance. Unsurpassed by standard friction tuners, they combine precision-machined quality with an authentic vintage look. Simply the finest traditional friction pegs you can install on your ukulele.
Choice of beautifully polished knobs: curly koa, solid ebony or grained ivoroid.
Nickel-plated brass, set of 4.
Waverly Ukulele Friction Pegs offer modern precision with vintage style, ideal for instrument restoration. Waverly tuners will work properly in pegholes with diameters between 7/32" and 1/4" (5.56mm to 6.35mm).
For new builds, we recommend drilling a 3/16" (5mm) peghole diameter.
For appearance and proper function, pegholes should be chamfered for the top washer and the rear housing.
Peghead thickness can vary from 5/16" to 9/16" (7.94mm to 14.29mm).
