In the Workshop
September 6th
This is the final part in my series on violin pegs.  In this section, I cover what can go wrong with pegs and how to fix them.
September 3rd
This is Part II of my three-part series on how a violin peg works.  This section covers the physical forces at work on the peg.
September 1st
Many string players struggle with stuck or slipping pegs.  I thought a quick physics lesson would explain how pegs work, and what can be done to fix them.  However, physics should never be rushed!  This article ended up longer than intended...

Musical Instrument and Accesories:

At Modern Day Music, we only carry products hand-selected to provide the best quality for our customers. We personally test all of our instruments to be sure they meet our standards before displaying them on the retail floor. We also have a full selection of accessories, ranging from strings and reeds to band and orchestra instrument maintenance supplies. For school band and orchestra students, we have all of the method books used by the area music directors. We have also consulted with many of the local music teachers to carry the private lesson books they recommend for their students. If you are looking for that one piece that keeps running through your head and you just have to learn, stop by to check out our popular music selection.

  • Michael KellyAlvarez, and Tanglewood guitars
