Arle is right, On the antique gurdy I used smaller pegs, the 8 mm violin grip pegs. They were a little shorter, but that wasn't a problem. The first gurdy I installed the pegs on, had pegholes that were not wide enough. I didn't ream them out enough, so the pegs were a little too high in the pegbox. The string didn't wind, so I had to drill a hole in the side of the pegbox a little higher than the original hole to solve that problem.

They're designed to essentially drop in as a replacement for a standard peg without any modification of the instrument. In my case, when I installed them I had holes just slightly too big and so had to ream the holes out to a larger size than what the instrument was designed for, but the length was not an issue at all. Having installed them, the only thing I would recommend now is that you drill out the string hole to a larger diameter before you install them. The holes aren't quite big enough for heavy drones unless you drill them out. -Arle On Jun 7, 2008, at 5:18 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Those look nice. How far down into the peg box do they go?
