【Instrument Care 樂器保養篇】(2) - Pegs 琴軸



Pegs can be stiff or slip. This problem can be caused by:

• Seasonal humidity variation

• Improperly wounding of strings

• Poor peg fit


Slipping pegs commonly happened when wood shrinks during the winter. It could be fixed by rewinding the strings properly. Or you have to find a qualified craftsman to fix it. Both the peg hole and the peg itself need to be corrected and matched.


Stiff pegs commonly happen when the weather is humid, It can be solved by applying some peg lubricant. You may loosen the peg and lubricate it.


琴軸可能會太緊或太鬆下滑。此問題可能由於以下原因引起:

• 季節性濕度變化

• 不正確安裝琴弦

• 手工不佳 (軸孔和琴軸打磨不好)


冬天乾燥時,木頭會收縮, 琴軸滑落是很常見現象。通常只要重新安裝(繞圈)琴弦便可以解決問題。但如果琴軸依然滑落,便需要請師傅幫忙打磨軸孔和琴軸。


潮濕時,琴軸可能會太緊。建議可以用專用的琴軸蠟去潤滑。
