WTB- Two Oud Pegs and a hard case

Music - 8-31-2011 at 02:06 PM

Need black Oud pegs and a deal on a hard case.
If anyone has one lying spare, let me know. I'm looking to lay a beat on what I'll have to pay from online sources, so please price with that in mind.

Dov Schmidt, who has carried many instrument parts reasonably priced (though I regret to say his fancier viola pegs have gotten more expensive) now carries reasonably priced Oud Pegs at $1 and $1.50 each, in Ebony, Rosewood and Walnut, with or without decorative eyes. The normal undecorated pegs are $1 each. They are 89 mm long, with a 61 mm shaft (long enough), and a 30:1 taper.

I have seen Chinese reamer + peg shaver packages around $50. That would bring the "peg job" within reach of most. Maybe we need to create a coop that would buy and loan out these two tools in a high quality version say a week at a time, since few people need them full time?
