Howard and All,
I've had the tuners on my cittern since about 2010 and they've worked
perfectly the entire time.

So is that yes, no, or maybe?

So my suspicion that it could drive you nuts was well founded. Sounds
like you may be an under-appreciated hero to Lutedom.

John,
You are quite right and that would do much to solve the roundness
problem. But my other problem is that the rental lutes are stored in
3 places across the US and since they are rentals they are rented out
to people. This means we don't have access to the lutes because they
Howard brings out a factor, which is longevity. I have had them for 4
years, no breakdown thus far. Also, Charles gave an example of the
Ernie Ball battery charged tuning device. i do not have that, but a
simple device that winds the string, and it works very well for
changing
Michael;
With standard pegs, they won't go out of round if you maintain them
properly. That means loosening the peg by turning it and pulling out a
bit so that there is just light pressure between the wooden parts. That
compensates for the dimensional changes caused by humidity

About once a year the topic of planetary tuners comes up on this
listserve. People weigh in for and against, sometimes (like last
year) the discussion gets overheated as some who are against cite
historical authenticity and other factors as reasons against and those
who are for
Seems we are about 50/50 split on the peghedz...
FWIW, I have used this device:

to get around the tedium of string changing, its sort of fun actually,
and fits my pegs
Dear All,
I really don't think the planetary tuning pegs are necessary for a
lute with good-fitting pegs. I find that a small amount of violin "peg
dope" -- the hard, waxy type, not the softer gooey type -- is all the
help my lute and vihuela pegs need.
On the other hand, I did
I sincerely cannot understand the idea of those hidden "machine heads"!
Violinists, viola players, cellists, ..., do not use those.
Why should I? The old friction pegs are so easy, fast and good - if they
are. I have had the luck of having good ones.
But everyone may choose his/her own way,

judgment leads, of course, to no synthetic strings. And that
would mean
no really usable bass strings beyond 6 course.

Completely off-topic, but there are still, or better: again lute
players among us who use plain gut for their strings,
Actually I stand somewhat corrected on the gut basses- some of Dan
Larson's work quite well... :-) DW

John Mardinly has nailed it. My otherwise fabulous 8 course has an

more bother than they are worth (came with; this lute was a quick

I have them on a guitar. Wish I didn't. Well-fitting pegs are better.

I have planetary tuners called âPegheads'. They were installed in my
1970 David Rubio 8 course lute by Mel Wong during a restoration he did
a year and a half ago. Let me share some observations:
1) The original friction pegs had gone very out of round and were very
difficult to
I have a vihuela in which the pegs are installed at such an angle in
the headstock
that the string-pull loosens them. I think planetaries might be a good
solution.
