If only the gear mechanism could be placed inside hand turned pegs. I get more compliments on the swan neck peg box than anything else about any lute. Each boxwood peg is a different size and they gently taper down to the smallest in the 3rd pegbox. Geared pegs would all be one size, and all black.
