Ebony violin peg has solid black ebony, very smooth. The holes are not drilled, (drill a 1/16th hole for string). The holes need to be drilled in different locations. The G and E string holes should be drilled closer to the head of the peg because these 2 strings are closer to the wall of the peg box.The small end of the peg measures 160 thousandths of an inch to 163 thousandths of an inch in diameter (3 thousandths of an inch out of round). When installed the pins stick out 3/8th of an inch past the peg box. A small end diameter of 0.170 of an inch would be a better (larger diameter) size. The seller may have larger diameter tuning pegs to offer. The standard peg taper of 1 in 30 (2 degrees included angle) seems to be correct. The overall length of the pegs is 2 and 1/2 inches a.
