Howard brings out a factor, which is longevity. I have had them for 4
years, no breakdown thus far. Also, Charles gave an example of the
Ernie Ball battery charged tuning device. i do not have that, but a
simple device that winds the string, and it works very well for
changing
Michael;
With standard pegs, they won't go out of round if you maintain them
properly. That means loosening the peg by turning it and pulling out a
bit so that there is just light pressure between the wooden parts. That
compensates for the dimensional changes caused by humidity

About once a year the topic of planetary tuners comes up on this
listserve. People weigh in for and against, sometimes (like last
year) the discussion gets overheated as some who are against cite
historical authenticity and other factors as reasons against and those
who are for
Seems we are about 50/50 split on the peghedz...
FWIW, I have used this device:

to get around the tedium of string changing, its sort of fun actually,
and fits my pegs
Dear All,
I really don't think the planetary tuning pegs are necessary for a
lute with good-fitting pegs. I find that a small amount of violin "peg
dope" -- the hard, waxy type, not the softer gooey type -- is all the
help my lute and vihuela pegs need.
On the other hand, I did
I sincerely cannot understand the idea of those hidden "machine heads"!
Violinists, viola players, cellists, ..., do not use those.
Why should I? The old friction pegs are so easy, fast and good - if they
are. I have had the luck of having good ones.
But everyone may choose his/her own way,

judgment leads, of course, to no synthetic strings. And that

no really usable bass strings beyond 6 course.

Completely off-topic, but there are still, or better: again lute
players among us who use plain gut for their strings,
Actually I stand somewhat corrected on the gut basses- some of Dan
Larson's work quite well... :-) DW

John Mardinly has nailed it. My otherwise fabulous 8 course has an
early prototype installation of these things. On my lute they are far
more bother than they are worth (came with; this lute was a quick
purchase of an already built lute. Bought in spite the pegheadz).

Nothing better of peg paste and graphite on the nut grooves. It worked
for centuries, no need to change...

I have them on an 8-course lute, 11-course lute, and vihuela. They are
fantastic, highly recommended.

Looking for opinions on planetary tuners for lutes or vihuelas,
cautionary tales, where to get them, which brands, how to install etc.

I have planetary tuners called âPegheads'. They were installed in my
1970 David Rubio 8 course lute by Mel Wong during a restoration he did
a year and a half ago. Let me share some observations:
1) The original friction pegs had gone very out of round and were very
difficult to
I have a vihuela in which the pegs are installed at such an angle in
the headstock
that the string-pull loosens them. I think planetaries might be a good
solution.

Makes me think of the Sarabande de Gautier de Lyon, which would be
neither a Saraband (Chaconne in A), nor by Gauthier (according to Joel
Dugot)', not at all in his style?
Very much looking forward to hearing your CD of Vieil-ton pieces, when
you finally record it, and hopefully to
19 matches
