I bought some of these while in the US and have since fitted two sets to
antique gurdies. They certainly do work very well and fitting them is a
breeze. I ground down a 10.5mm drill to accomodate the taper etc which
guarantees a perfect fit.
One thing to watch out for is that they come left or right handed. The
traditional gurdy peg will always use the right hander but one of the
antique instruments had holes in the left hand side of the pegbox which
dictated stringing the other way. Fortunately, I had some left handed ones
as well.
I contacted Brian Burns and indeed the pegs are different internally as
well as having a different external thread so it is important to know which
ones you need.
