Occasionally pegs are very stiff, or simply a little small, and a peg
turner is a useful accessory. This is a very simple tool, a turned
wooden handle with a leather padded slot for
Hi Claudia
I'm new to the LUTE list myself. Most of the discussion on it is above my head,
but some of the info (especially links to duet music) has been very useful.
I've also recently bought a lute from Stephen and Sandi (one of their student
lutes) and Stephen made a peg tuner for me while
Such a newcomer am I that I didn't realise my message would go to all on the
forum and not just Claudia! And I hadn't given the matter enough thought.
Looking again at the additional features of Stephen Gottlieb's tuning device
(ie leather padding and flat sides), it sounds like a safer option

Friedrich Wilhelm Rust (1739-1796) used probably octave harmonics in his Sonata
II in d-minor for lute and violin. He wrote a line and all' 8va and used at

When I received a lute that had sticking pegs (it hadn't been played in a long
while) I didn't want to order and then wait for a peg winder. I used pliers.
Two caveats, though: put enough tape on the jaws to keep them from marring the
pegs, and be careful not to let the pliers slip, fall

Years ago I had a lute peg that would not turn, period. Dan Larson - Lute

a small hammer and a pencil (new unsharpened with the eraser cut off cleanly)

Of course, Claudia's builder would need arms 11,000 miles long to do this.

Dear Claudia,
Looking ahead 6 months to a drier future down under, and borrowing trouble
therefrom, may I share experience of having just the opposite problem in bone
dry semiarid inland southern CA. At the LSA meeting someone whipped out a
plastic peg tuner and I asked what the h is that?
I absolutely second this. While a peg disaster is not too likely using pliers
or peg turners, it is not worth to take the risk in particular if your maker is
more than 1 mls away.
The method of gently hitting the thin end with a little rod softer than your
peg works 100% and minimises the

Hi All,
While on the subject of those pesky pegs I thought I might pass on some
ideas about tuning:
1. Think about the tension on the string between the peg and the nut as
well as the tension between the nut and the bridge. Ideally they should
be equal. So, when you want to raise the
