Its unique formula provides the perfect balance of grip and lubrication with a hassle-free, no-remove application. Just one drop stabilizes tuning instantly, ensuring smooth, silent peg adjustments.

## Description

Stop Fighting Your Instrument and Start Playing. There is nothing worse than a peg that slips right in the middle of a practice session or, worse, a performance. Ardsley Peg Drops are the "Original" liquid cure for slipping, squeaking, and sticking pegs. Designed for convenience and reliability, Ardsley offers a solution that is unsurpassed by other products on the market. While solid compounds require you to dismantle your setup, Ardsley Peg Drops are designed to work while the peg is still in the pegbox. The liquid formula penetrates the wood grain to provide the perfect balance of friction (grip) and lubrication (smooth turning).

Review: They work Great! Just as advertised! - These drops are not just a convenience. In my opinion they are a neccessity for beginning violinists. If you are reading this wondering if you should consider buying this product to stop your tuning pegs from slipping, or to make them turn smoother and in less dramatic tuning jumps, the answer is yes. Buy this, it does work, and it works very well. Even though the instructions said to put a drop on two different places on each peg, I wanted to go light just in case, so at first I only put 1 drop on each peg. I didn't know what to expect and you can always put more on, but too much could be a bad thing. Also, each instrument is different, each peg is different. I had one very stubborn peg, while the others were just the normal level of obnoxious about slipping. You may only need 1 drop on some pegs and the reccomended 2 drops on the others. I had new strings on, which of course are going to take forever to stretch out and will need constant tuning. I did not remove the strings, I just loosened the pegs a little and pulled them out a tiny bit, one at a time, then put the first drop on the spot where the peg would make contact when put back in (on the tuning head side of the peg, the part you actually turn). I put the 2nd small drop on the dead end of the peg (not the end you turn). Be careful when applying that you don't get more than 1 small drop at a time. This stuff spreads out over time, a tiny drop goes a long way. One bottle should last you a very long time. What to expect: With one drop the effect is immediate. You will notice the pegs turn smoother and hold their position much better. After playing for awhile I decided to put a 2nd drop on each peg (as suggested by the included instruction sheet). This helped them all to stay in place even better than before. The pegs now also turn smoother and easier and I can tune much easier than before, in smaller more accurate adjustments, and the strings actually hold the tuning for much longer than before. Great product. Buy it, use it, and be happy.
Review: Effect was immediate and dramatic - I recently picked up an electric violin. It turned out it needed a fair amount of work to get it in playable condition, and the last problem I was dealing with was slipping tuning pegs. The A was somewhat prone to slip, and the E absolutely would not hold its position. It was bad enough that I was really skeptical whether something this simple would have any effect at all. Well, I just received the drops, and decided the obvious thing was to start with the E string. Applied one drop to each contact point, wiped up excess, and immediately was able to tune the string with ease. (It is still necessary to press the peg into the peg box a bit, but I understand this to be normal based on the instruments I've played over the years.) The instructions indicate that there should even be further improvement over the next 12 hours, but honestly if it just keeps working as it is now I'll be extremely happy with this product. With just the E string fixed, I was able to fully tune up and finally play the instrument - which of course distracted me from continuing to apply drops to the other pegs yet, though I certainly plan to do at least the A string. It literally took less than a minute and the difference is night-and-day. I see a handful of reviews that say the drops didn't work, were messy, or caused their pegs to seize up entirely. I don't know specifically what could be different for these users. (Some of the complaints kind of sound like they might have applied too much, but without knowing I can't fully assume it's anything like that.) So possibly your mileage may vary, but I can tell you this is exactly what I was looking for.

## Features

- THE ONE-DROP SOLUTION: Put an end to the frustration of slipping pegs that refuse to hold pitch. Ardsley Peg Drops provide a powerful, liquid grip that stabilizes your tuning, allowing you to focus on your performance rather than your equipment.
- STOPS SQUEAKING & JERKING: Beyond just holding the string tension, this compound acts as a specialized lubricant. It eliminates the "creaking" and "jerking" motion of dry pegs, allowing for smooth, precise tuning adjustments without sticking.
- HASSLE-FREE APPLICATION: Unlike chalk or solid pastes, there is no need to remove the peg or restring your instrument. simply loosen the peg slightly, apply a single drop to the gap, and re-tighten.
- WORKS ON ALL ORCHESTRAL STRINGS: Whether you are a student violinist or a professional double bassist, this formula is safe and effective for Violin, Viola, Cello, and Upright Bass.
- HIGH-VALUE SUPPLY: A little goes a long way. This 1/3 oz (9.857ml) bottle contains enough liquid compound to last for years of maintenance, making it an essential addition to any musician’s case or luthier’s workbench.
