## Description

Made by Hindersine Corporation in the England. This quality peg compound helps lubricate pegs which no longer turn smoothly. This is the original Hill Peg Compound, not an imitation!

Review: It works!! - My custom-made fiddle wasn't staying in tune, due to temperature changes I think. The Peg Dope was suggested by a friend, and I used it and no more problem, for now at least! My pegs were slipping, but I understand that it also works to lubricate pegs that won't turn easily. Good stuff. I ordered online and the order was here within a couple of days. I have Prime membership, and live 20 miles from the nearest town, so everything (FedEx or UPS) worked all along the way.
Review: Good stuff, highly recommended - After recently changing the strings on my violin, the G string began to slip, and it was not possible to tighten the peg sufficiently to stop it. I removed the peg and applied the HIll Compound on the two shiney spots on the peg where it contacts the peg box. Then reinserted the peg and turned it around a few times to cost the peg box with the compound. Then removed the peg and and applied more Compound to the same two spots, reinserted the peg and attached the G string. I was then able to sufficiently tighten the peg so as to not slip. I think that possibly the Hill Compound lubricates the peg and the peg box so that you can insert the peg more fully, getting a tighter fit and stopping the slipping.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Clarification please - is the compound for use when pegs are too tight or too loose?  Or is it "magic" and can help in either situation?  Thank you.**
A: In general -- Peg Compound is to allow you to turn the pegs to tune the instrument. This peg compound prevents the pegs from sticking to the instrument (while still holding the peg & tune in place). So I guess the short answer to your question is that peg compound prevents the pegs from getting too tight.

**Q: do I have to unwind the strings and take the peg out to use this? -- sorry I'm new with the violin**
A: yes,the every peg has to be removed for getting service with any peg compound. please,make the two rings around of every peg,do not touch the area where strings winding going to be ! with my pleasure.

**Q: what's the difference between this and Hill the Original Peg Compound?**
A: I don't know about the original one. The Hill peg in the tube, you rub it on the peg and when you wind up the string the Hill peg compound keeps the string from slipping. It doesn't take much on the peg. Hope this helped some.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great peg compound, bad product design
*by A***X on July 22, 2021*

It works and transfers very well, but it could be designed in a way that makes it less likely for it to break.
