Knilling

Knilling is an American brand of bowed string instruments and accessories, with a range that includes violins, violas and cellos. It is associated with student instruments and educational use, as well as its Perfection geared tuning pegs. These pegs use an internal gearing mechanism to adjust string tension rather than relying solely on the friction fit of a traditional tuning peg.

MyGear currently lists 11 Knilling products in stock at partner retailers, priced from £130 to £250 across the Violins & violas and Strings categories. The listed selection centres on Perfection peg sets, so this price range reflects tuning accessories rather than the brand’s complete instrument range. Options include sets for full-size and smaller instruments, different peg diameters, and plastic, ebony and rosewood variants, alongside five-peg sets for five-string instruments.
