Re: Peg Bass Clarinet

I had a new, extra long peg made for my bass for the same reason. I went to a repairman, who measured the existing peg and got hold of a suitable rod of strong steel that was the proper diameter. If you want to do it on your own, you'll need to measure the diameter of Vito peg with a calipers or a micrometer and then find the right kind of steel. What they sell at Lowes or Home Depot won't cut it. You'll need to possibly go to a metal company, or even get a thicker piece and have a machinist put it on a lathe and make it thinner. Then you'll need to get the right sized rubber foot for the end of the rod. IMHO easier to let a good repairman do it.
