Hi All,

I recommend Daniel's solution with a piece of dowel, because the pin vice may be too thick to allow you to rotate it without contacting the soundboard (if you have enough room, fine, but put a piece of masking tape on the soundboard first so if you do make contact you don't scratch it). The drill needs to be comfortably larger than the string you intend to use.

Please, luthiers, drill your holes big enough in the first place!

Pegs are not such a worry as enlarging the holes is not so difficult and it can be inconvenient if the holes are too large for the string you're using.

Best wishes,

Martin
