Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010007080A2] The invention relates to a tuning device for setting the tension of one or more strings on a stringed instrument, comprising a peg receiving portion (10), which has pairs of bores (14) for rotatably receiving tuning pegs (20), wherein the tuning pegs (20) in each case comprise a peg body with a spindle (26) for insertion into a pair of bores (12, 14) in the peg receiving portion (10) and for winding up the end portion of a string and a peg grip (22), connected to the spindle (26), for turning the spindle (26) about a common axis (a) of the peg grip (22) and the spindle (26).  A gear mechanism (33) is provided outside the peg receiving portion (10), functionally between the peg grip (22) and the spindle (26), and passes on to the spindle (26) a turning movement of the peg grip (22) about the common axis (a) that is reduced in its magnitude, wherein the gear mechanism (33) is an eccentric gear mechanism.
