Herb,
The string players in the band are constantly moving the pegs while
frequently tuning. Some of them go down several notes and then come
back to the note. All that motion keeps the peg dope distributed around
the peg, and allows for constant readjustment of the peg tension. I
Wow! I wasn't seriously considering this, but it may be just the
thing for my workhorse gigging lute. What we should do is clamor for
the guy to make thinner Renaissance looking pegs.

Well, I see that that the image link is automatically garbled by =20=
