cool new tool

[Vince Jesse]

Well, as far as I know the commercially available boxwood cello peg bushings use a 1/25 taper. And as far as I know the most common commercial cello endpin reamers use a 1/17 taper. What brand of cello endpin reamer do you have? Have you measured the taper? If you can get cello peg bushings with a 1/17 taper please let me know where you get them.

They're may be some variation among the German makers and distributors of tools, i.e. Gewa, Gotz, Herdim, Aehnelt. Also, maybe the standards were different at one time. For example the Aehnelt brand reamer that Howard Core sells as a cello peg bushing reamer uses a 1/17 taper which doesn't match the bushings they currently sell.
