Overview

The K&M 17788 Flute Peg is a compact, German-engineered accessory that provides a secure resting point for bass, Boehm, and cross flutes. It connects to any holder, base, or bracket equipped with an M5 thread — including the popular K&M 14301 holder — and requires no tools to install. The peg's 0.709-inch (18mm) diameter black plastic core is carefully sized to support the flute without scratching or denting the instrument's interior finish, a common concern with generic or metal pegs.

Weighing just 2.1 ounces, the 17788 is light and small enough to slip into a gig bag or case pocket, making it a practical companion for musicians who move between venues. K&M's commitment to build quality is reflected in the 5-year product warranty and 10-year guarantee on replacement parts availability. The company also holds ISO 14001 environmental certification, so the peg is produced under responsible manufacturing practices. For flutists seeking a dedicated, purpose-built storage solution that keeps their instrument safe and within arm's reach, this peg delivers exactly that.
