pegheds
I saw this site http://pegheds.com/
mentioned on the the oud home page forum. It looks like a wonderful design that would aid in the fine tuning of the oud, yet would maintain the
natural look of friction pegs. Any thougts?

I noticed these as well. They seem very nice. Although at $300 for a dozen pegs, I think I'll stick to using regular old pegs. Hopefully they
will come down in price...

Wow, I never saw a price listed on the web site and I guess that's why.

Hello:
My name is John Herin, and I am the inventor and manufacturer of Pegheds TM.
I'm sorry to say that I am not familiar with ouds.
Please call me toll free 1 866 PEGHEDS to discuss your requirements. I am always interested in fitting new or unusual instruments.

Hi John Herin
I do thank you for taking the time to look into fitting your new styled pegs to ouds.
I am personally interested in that, but since we are both so far away from one another it would be great if you try it at your end and e mail me back
with the out come. emad_philip@hotmail.com I'll be more than happy to fit them on my oud which I use for studio recording.
Thanks
Emad

New Pegs
Hi Emad & John,
I will probably get a set of these pegs for my oud... I'm still waiting for a response to my last email to John – I figure that the cost of the
Pegheads is a cheaper upgrade than buying a new oud. I was informed that the weight of these "pegs" is within 0.1 oz of an ebony peg so a
set of pegs might add about an oz of additional weight... not bad!

Expensive but...
I was thinking that if I could move them from one instrument to the next it might be worth it . A hard choice made easier if you can carry the cost
over into the next instrument.
