Violin pegs can be made from almost any type of wood, to plastic, to even metal. A more solid wood is recommended for pegs though, since changes in temperature and humidity cause the wood to swell when warm and humid and shrink in cold and dry areas. Because the swelling and shrinking can cause problems with tuning, it is again recommended to use something that will not change very much.
