So I got the violin back with the pegs installed. What the Luthier meant was he applies a spiral bushing apparently putting some shavings into the original peg whole cause the knilling pegs where a little smaller on the exit holes, so he didn't cut new holes! Whew!Now I'm dealing with new strings. I put on some Infield Reds, played for about an hour, they were stretching and out of tune, I guess it takes a bit to for them to settle in.
I wonder how long?
