Who Uses Perfection Planetary Pegs (PPPs)?

Here is a selection of musicians who use PPPs:

Lynn Harrell
Lynn Harrell plays a 1721 Montagnana cello and also a 1673 Antonio Stradivarius cello that belonged to the late British cellist Jacqueline du Pré. 
From 1985-93 he held the International Chair for Cello Studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London and in 1993 he became Principal of the Royal Academy in London

Turtle Island String Quartet
“It must have been like this when Beethoven was taking Vienna by
storm – the exhilaration of seeing the future of classical music
unfold before your eyes and ears.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Its name derived from creation mythology found in Native American Folklore, the Turtle Island Quartet, since its inception in 1985, has been a singular force in the creation of bold, new trends in chamber music for strings. Winner of the 2006 and most recently, the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Classical Crossover Album, Turtle Island fuses the classical quartet esthetic with contemporary American musical styles, and by devising a performance practice that honors both, the state of the art has inevitably been redefined. Cellist nonpareil Yo-Yo Ma has proclaimed TIQ to be “a unified voice that truly breaks new ground – authentic and passionate – a reflection of some of the most creative music-making today.”
