Disclosed is an elongate peg, preferably of wood, which has lips or shoulders generally perpendicular to the length of the peg body and adjacent opposite ends. The lips or shoulders are on opposite sides of the peg body. The peg is used to tighten or tension the vertical lacing in "bongo" type drums by contacting adjacent pairs of vertical lacing with the peg whereby each lip is incontact with one of the adjacent pair of vertical lacing so that when the peg isflipped generally horizontal end forward, a twist is formed in the lacing pair at one end of the peg held by the lip while the other end of the peg is forcibly held against the drum shell by the force in the twist. In a preferred aspect, the drum profile is such that the spacing between the vertical lacing and the drum shell is increased slightly to facilitate more easily the flipping of the peg but still retain a peg end in forceable contact with the shell once flipped.

La présente invention se rapporte à une cheville de forme allongée, de préférence en bois, dotée d'épaulements généralement perpendiculaires au corps de la cheville, et adjacents à ses extrémité opposées. Les épaulements sont disposés en opposition, de part et d'autre du corps de la cheville. La cheville est utilisées pour tendre les cordons de laçage vertical dans les tambours de type bongos par accrochage des paires de cordons de laçage vertical, chacun des épaulements venant en contact avec l'une des paires de cordons de laçage vertical; une torsade est formée dans un des paires de cordons en faisant pivoter la cheville dont une extrémité est immobilisée par un premier épaulement, tandis que la force de torsion maintient l'autre extrémité de la cheville en contact serré avec la paroi du tambour. Dans une version préférée de l'invention, le profil du tambour est modifié de façon à augmenter légèrement l'espacement du laçage vertical afin de faciliter le pivotement de la cheville tout en conservant la force de torsion nécessaire pour maintenir celle-ci en contact serré avec la paroi du tambour.
