I am Brand New and Know Nothing
Instruments- discuss specific features, luthiers, instrument problems & questions
If you want to meet up in Palatka One Day or even Salt Springs send me a private message...........strings are not a problem and I doubt the pegs are going to be much of an issue either. Most of mine have wooden pegs and they can be a bit tricky to get used to tuning. A Lucky Diamond Dulcimer is a nice gift. If you want include some contact info in your message and I'll drive over to Palatka and take a gander at it. I can probably find a tune for you and if it needs new strings get those to you, I'll just have to check and see what the distance is between the nut and bridge. In the mean time, you might just pull one of the tuners out a bit and put some chalk on it and see if that helps it hold. Measure the distance between the nut and bridge and I'll check and see what I have for strings in my box of goodies. Feel free to get in touch with me, I go to Palatka about 3 times a week anyway.
