You can use violin or viola pegs. If the holes on your pegbox are a bit large, go for the viola. You'll have to fit them either way. It's
not as simple as just popping new pegs in. Check Zulkairnan's site for peg info. How much are the ones on ebay? I've sold many sets and
would be happy to supply you with some. (ebony violin pegs are $26 for 12 pegs) They are also available in rosewood, boxwood. Actually, lute makers
frown on the use of ebony because of it's abrasive nature, but I don't think it's much of an issue if they fit very well.
