Hi Nigel,
Well the old lutes typically have a nail. The interesting thing is that
in some X-rays you can see the nail only goes through the back of the
pegbox, not the block at the end - so it seems they attached the back of
the pegbox before adding the rest of it, which seems bizarre to us.
I used a screw on my first two or three lutes, but haven't used one
since. As you say, it's a large gluing area, and not using a screw or
nail means there is no extra work needed to cover the head of it. I
suppose it would also make it easier to remove the pegbox if that was
ever necessary, not that "easy" is a word that would come to mind in
this context.

Just wondering how many builders fix the pegobx to the neck using a
screw, or just glue. There is a biggish surface when attaching the
pegbox, is it necessary to include a screw?
