I took delivery of a new lute this week that has Pegheads installed. I've never been one for much authenticity, so this doesn't bug me at all. All I can say is, where have they been all my lute life? I don't know what I am going to do with all the extra time I have now. They are fantastic. The only single thing I miss is the simplicity of removing a string with conventional pegs, but to be able to just sit there and put your left hand up to easily tweak tuning feels miraculous to me. I am curious what the conventional wisdom is on these.
