Weight is a major issue, especially when you're putting 24 of something on one end of your instrument. So the increased weight of a standard machine tuning head is usually cited as the reason for not using them on lutes, which are much lighter than 19th-century guitars. I have never

I do not know the exact weight, but the 8-course lute has 15 pegs, or should I say, gears. The lute's neck felt as though it was light, with absolutely no noticeable added weight. At 12:33 AM 6/22/2010, howard posner wrote: Weight is a major issue, especially when you're putting 24 of

It seems to me that another reason - beyond the weight of guitar-type machine tuners - for not using them on lutes would be the space they require. I think they would require that the tuners be more widely spaced and the peg box consequently much longer. Though more expensive, the geared
