A stringed musical instrument has tuning pegs each with a shaft and a finger-grip. The shaft gas two conical sections (2.1, 2.2) with protruding side-ridges, and a smooth centre section (5) with an anchorage hole (4) for the string. The peg shaft incorporates an internal step-gown gear linking the finger grip (1) and peg centre section (5).
