I'm considering installation of geared pegs on my lute. The website (http://www.pegheds.com) says that any qualified repair person can do the installation. But that is probably for violins, cellos, etc.
Would a violin repair person be able to do the installation? Are there fundamental differences between a violin pegbox and a lute pegbox? Would a cello repair person be better than a violin repair person? Of my 13 pegs, 10 wind internally to the pegbox, and 3 wind externally. My understanding is that the external pegs require special attention. So I will, at first, install only 10 geared pegs. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
