I wonder if they sell the mechanism so you could use something other
than ebony. Most of my lutes use boxwood. The pegs also taper in size
down to very small ones on the upper peg box of my swan neck.
On a related topic, I use a tee handle peg wrench which allows very

Your luthier can get them, or you may be able to buy them directly
from pegheds.com, as noted already.
However, installation of pegheds and other mechanical-advantage pegs
is not for beginners or the faint of heart. They must be glued into
the hole on one side of the pegbox, while the other side

So, what do they cost? I took a quick look at the Peghead website, but
didn't see any price information. Perhaps it is there somewhere, and I just
didn't look long enough or hard enough. I am interested because I am

The first experience with these pegheds was on Dan Winheld's 8-course

Well, old pal, you just tried them out- you didn't have to live with
them! I suspect that as my lute was Dan's trial run with these things,

But I have hard time seeing how different pegs, even digital
