Mel Wong will be installing these pegs in my 1968 Rubio as part of the restoration. He has used them in the past and reports excellent results. They are also relatively inexpensive. I am looking forward to the experience.

The website ([11]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.
