I for one would like to go on record and and say that these geared tuner
things are an abomination. Well made normal pegs are just fine. These geared
things seem to be an attempt to compensate for poor pegs.

I remember when these came out, and have read all the comments to follow on
this thread. I'm not entirely certain of the practical usefulness of this
product unless one would want to replace pegs on an existing instrument with
minimal modification to the instrument.
I seem to recall geared tuners

These do sound like a positive, worthwhile innovation. I'd have to think about
the risks involved with shipping my lute to a maker to have them installed,
though.

For sure (I think) one of the big advantages to gut is the lack of binding at
the nut. Once you get to the wound synthetic lower strings, binding seems
inevitable. At least on every instrument I've owned.

There was an article in the Lute Society's Lute News last year
detailing a person's experience buying and having geared pegs installed
by a luthier with very positive results. I'm sure someone with a
better memory and a better filing system can point out which issue of

I seem to remember that the geared pegs for violins, cellos etc. are glued in
place to prevent slipping of the peg itself (of course the gears don't slip).
Is this necessary with the lute pegs? If not, what keeps the pegs themselves
(not the gears) from slipping in dry weather?

Dear Martin, Martyn, and all
Thank you for your suggestions. I do think it was due to a
difference in humidity, so perhaps the lamp might have worked, perhaps
also helping to soften the peg paste. I will try that next time.
The peg seemed to be blocked which ever way I turned
Also, somewhat contra-intuitive, try tightening the string first - not
releasing it - to break the static friction and any residual wedging of
peg paste. Then release the tension.

Dear Anthony and All,
If your pegs stick because they have swollen or the pegbox has shrunk,
try putting the pegbox near a source of gentle heat such as a desk lamp
- no need for it to be hot, just slightly warmer than the surroundings.
That will reduce the humidity and may take you back to w
I love the appearence and feel of the non-geared pegs on my Stephen

they were the best pegs thay had used. Nevertheless, following a three

It should have a label. Get one of those bright LED lights and really
look inside.
A baroque lute with no label would be an adventure.
If you can swing it, get a new instrument with a label.

I'm interested in buying a Baroque lute, 11 or
13 courses.
In inspecting candidate instruments, I can judge
obvious things like tone, defective pegs, super-
ficial workmanship, and rattling braces.
However, I worry that less obvious aspects might
also be important, such as stability of wood,
