hey hey, thanks bob on that info. I want to make a pretty psalmodikin and that will be what I'll choose to make ONE STRING PEG and see if I can work that better. I can recall when I used to work at a Japanese large merchandise store in Hawaii, they had musical instruments that DID have those long shafts. That's encouraging. aloha, irene p.s. yep, I forgot about the limit of photos on here. I should let you use my space....as I still can't really figure how to post photos. Granddaughter gave me some help....13 steps. ha. lost the list. oh well.
you need to show ALL the photos you had on F.B. (I only get F.B. on my phone) and wanted to see all of these up close. 36 years ago. Thanks for playing it too for us to hear her voice. I really really like the pegs. aloha, irene
Thanks Irene. I would love to share all the photos here but I have expired my photo-limit! I like this site more in that the photos are much larger and clearer.
I got some inspiration for those longer tuning pegs from Japanese fretted instruments I had admired. They are unique and give nice visual balance, but serve a good purpose as well: the long shaft also really helps with finer tuning because you can use both hands to adjust the peg. How I do it is to push the long shaft end in gently in which loosens the peg and then ease the peg into tune while pressing the knob end back into the tuning head. It is a straight shafted tuning peg, not a tapered shaft, which seems for me to tune pretty well.
