On a 1:1 tuner (like a peg), under ideal conditions, the shaft would also turn one degree. Let's say (again hypothetically) that this causes the
string's pitch to rise 2 cents.
On a 6:1 tuner, the same movement would cause the shaft to turn 1/6 of a degree, and the pitch to rise 1/3 of a cent.
On an 18:1 tuner, the same movement would cause the shaft to turn 1/18 of a degree, and the pitch to rise 1/9 of a cent.
This is pretty much the definition of "precision".

That was very clear and convincing.
Now I finally understand :-)
Thank you Brian
The wood might be dead, but the oud is alive.

Hamid Ghorbanzadeh is using the Wittner pegs.

But as said Brian, most of the issue comes from the nut.
My Mohammadi barbat is so smooth due to their rolling nut system, but the pegs are so stiff.
My Türünz's pegs are super precise and soft, but the last sets of d'addario don't want to move through the nut,it' s getting a little better with
some graphite.
