ABSTRACT:
A tuning peg for tuning a stringed instrument. The inventive device includes a tapered shaft for receiving one of the instrument strings thereabout. A thumb piece is coupled to the tapered shaft by an adjustable angle coupler which permits the thumb piece to be selectively orientated at a desired rotational angle relative to the tapered shaft. By this structure, the thumb pieces of the instrument can all be positioned at a desired orientation. In order to make the tuning peg more durable and reliable in its construction, the end of the tapered shaft which the thumb piece is connected to is fitted with a shaft including a circular plate and mounting stud construction. The shaft insert has a threaded interior bore that gives a more firm connection between the thumb piece and the tapered shaft.
