Woodland Strings Peg Compound (Dope) for Violin, Viola and Cello

Description

Woodland Strings is now proud to offer a set of premium peg compounds for violin, viola and cello. Originally developed, produced and sold by master violin makers Edward C. Campbell and Nelson Steffy of the Chimneys Violin Shop of Boiling Springs, PA, these compounds are now available again following the passing of the Campbells and the closing of the Chimneys Violin Shop in 2019. Hand-crafted in small batches, these compounds are suitable for professional luthier, shop and player use. While there is no single "one-size-fits-all" peg compound appropriate for every situation, the Woodland Strings set consists of 3 separate, individual formulations.
#1 - FIRM - For badly slipping pegs. This can be used on any instrument, but works especially well for cellos that are exposed to extremely dry air in the winter months, particularly in school environments.
#2 - MEDIUM - An all-purpose peg compound. Provides a good balance of grip and lubrication for many situations.
#3 - SOFT - For sticking, heavily "clicking" pegs. Particularly useful in more humid climates in the summer months, or for anytime an easily-turned peg is desired.
All three formulations can be blended on the peg in any combination desired, feel free to experiment. Each 1" diameter disc of compound is enough to last for years, and can easily pay for itself after just one use. Each formula is individually priced at .95 plus shipping, or just over for the complete set of three. All of my compounds are packaged in recycled and compostable kraft brown canisters and shipped via USPS First Class Package with tracking number. Please specify the formulation(s) desired (#1, #2 or #3) when ordering. Made in the USA.
