Don Firth	Friction Pegs That Don't Hold (24)	RE: Friction Pegs That Don't Hold	23 May 14
Back in the mid-50s I had a chance to buy a used genuine flamenco guitar from a fellow who had taken guitar lessons in Spain and had this guitar as a spare. Spruce soundboard, cypress back and sides, lightly constructed, and it definitely spoke Spanish. But it had friction pegs. Great guitar, but it was hell-on-wheels to tune. One to one ratio. Fortunately, the pegs didn't slip, but worried that they might, I checked around and someone—a violinist in the Seattle Symphony whom I happened to be acquainted with—told me that there was a product on the market called "Peg Dope" for just that purpose. Use as directed. CLICKY. Sounds like it might be the solution, Ebbie. Good luck! Don Firth
