ABSTRACT:
A tuning peg for a musical instrument such as a banjo, guitar, or the like in which the tone of the string is determined by the tension thereon, the tuning peg having two coaxial parts with inclined surfaces therebetween so that as the string tends to rotate the tuning peg, the inclined surfaces push the portions apart, causing increased frictional contact, which in turn resists rotation. In addition, a gear linkage within the tuning peg multiplies the effect of the torque which further resists rotation by the taut string.
