Sandynewlap Jean Ritchie dulcimer w geared tuners? (15) Jean Ritchie dulcimer w geared tuners? 09 Apr 12

I've got a Jean Ritchie dulcimer (it's my daughter's actually), made by Morris Pickow, and our family considers it a treasure. The trouble is that with the arthritis in my hands, I simply CANNOT tune it. It has those beautiful hand-carved wooden tuners, and they require a lot of strength to move at all. So the question is, should I alter this beautiful instrument by added geared tuners? What do folks think?
