Thanks for the pictures, David!
Do I see a clip-on tuner on the extension in the "bfx11" photo?

At BFX 2010, I had the opportunity to play Dan Larson's Frey lute.
Well, first off, this was a really nice lute, and all gut strung with
some really cool strings.
This lute also had geared pegs, which look just like real pegs. I
mean, they are real pegs, not imaginary pegs, but hopefully you know
what I mean.
I have seen the pegs for some time now on Gambas, but this was my
first lute adventure.
The pegs work great! They turn like butter, but have an internal
braking system to stop them from "frapping" to use the historical
term.
You can see very detailed photos of the lute on Flickr

I would love to have a cittern or orpharion with these pegs!
