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.

You are preaching to the choir, at least my choir. I have pegged a on my
11-course French lute as well as my Vihuela. They are fantastic, a real gift.
I have used them for years, and only wish I had them for all my instruments.

they are life saver on Orpharions; or any multi-string, double-course
low tension wire strung instrument. For those instruments,

I had PegHeds (that is how the inventor and manufacturer spells his
product) installed on a 10 c Ren lute. 19 PegHeds to replace tired, worn,
crappy wooden friction pegs that had broken off, actually started shearing
off
