If your lute has shitty, ill fitting pegs then PegHeads might be fine, but it
seems that most lute builders know how to make pegs that work just great. When
I see PegHeads on early guitars with six strings I seriously feel the need to
throw up.

We're all looking forward to your concert here in the City of Brotherly Love.
I am aware of the early music police and their hang-ups. However, at my age and
experience, I just don't care - or perhaps take some pleasure in annoying them.
Best,

If if the seemingly non authentic appearance is sending you two leaning
over the rails, Chuck tells me he can easily fit existing peg grips to
the machined peg body.A If, on the other hand, you are experiencing GI
disturbance for some other reason, then maybe a large garbage bag is in
Ever notice how the discussions on this list always come back around to
talking about gut? ;-)

Early - 19th C. - guitars were made with machines or friction pegs. Those made
with machines were more expensive. If you use pegheads on one of these
instruments, you have an expensive guitar masquerading as a cheap one. I'll
join Sterling at the vomitorium.

Does anyone know of any paintings, engravings or other iconographic
sources depicting tastini on fretted instruments? Just curious.

Yes, but you're forgetting that HIP is approximately 29.2 to 37.7% for
show. Do the concert on an actual 19th century guitar with original
geared tuners and a certain self-appointed Very Important segment of
audience will grumble that they've been cheated out of an Authentic
I know there are some bad pegs and peg makers out there, but in my
experience the majority of peg problems can be traced to improper
installation of the strings to the pegs. Players wind too much string on
the peg, it bumps up against the inside of the pegbox--this becomes a
stuck peg. They
Though not strictly speaking a 'peg' issue, strings binding at the nut can
cause tuning problems (even when using Pegheads I suppose).

That is EXACTLY the way I do it on conventional pegs. And if I am using

I don't usually chime in, but I've spent the last 3+ years with a lute
by Dan Larson with such cheater pegs and all-gut strings. It gets
almost daily use (although it's on a trip with Dan to Boston right now;
my lutes often travel more extensively than I do), plus concerts
