That's correct. > There seem to be 2 types > "Pegheds" are installed in a plain tapered hole and glued in > "Perfection Pegs" are also put in a tapered hole but have a self-tapping > threaded bit > They both seem to be designed for 2 point support as in a violin We use Pegheds from Chuck Herrin that he designed for flamenco guitar. These are designed to be supported in the center, which is just what we need for the HG. They're expensive, but they look better than banjo machines, and they seem to be more ruggedly built, i.e. will last longer. > An H-G peg is only supported at one end ? Well, I actually think of them as being supported in the middle: the head (which you turn) sticks out the top of the peghead, the center is supported by the wood of the peghead, and the string gets wrapped around the narrow end, inside the peghead.
