I spoke with the maker of 'Peghed' mechanical pegs and he said the pegs weigh 6 grams. Most wooden pegs way somewhere between 3 and 3.5 gram or so. For an 8-course lute, using 3.5 grams per wooden peg, this would add about 37.5 grams or just under 1-1/3 ounces. Ken On 8/16/2012 1:28 PM,

I find that nylgut stretches and thins out, so it helps to go with a little bit bigger string than the equivalent gut string to get a similar tension. I'm not sure about the new nylgut, though. It's supposed to stretch less. Ken On 10/20/2011 1:25 PM, Daniel Winheld wrote: At 63 cm. with
