I have just finished building a symphonie and have used "Peghed"
Geared pegs. They work a treat. John Herin (Chuck) makes a 5th string
banjo peg which is the one I used. They have the geared string
attachment point directly under the head. Ideal for hurdy gurdies. I
also bought a larger guitar "Peghed" from him for the trompette. It
has the geared string attachment at the bottom of the peg. Ideal for
the trompette peg. He also has a range of head styles to choose from.
I love these new pegs. I'll be putting them on all my elderly
stringed instruments (over time). Look at http://www.pegheds.com/

Has anyone tried Perfection Pegs, also known as
Perfection Planetary Pegs, on a hg? They look like
traditional violin or cello pegs, but they have tiny
gears inside so they function like modern tuners. I
figure they could be useful for people who want their
instruments to look traditional, but want modern
convenience. On message boards, violin players seem to
like them, since they can be installed without
changing anything about the violin.
The website, unfortunately, is full of video sales
fluff, negating any time-savings you'd get from your
new easier tuning. Try the PDF files.

They're also on ebay.
