Re: Violin gear tuning machines?
I have put Perfection pegs on all my fiddles including a very old Italian violin. No downside, the process is reversible if you wish to sell later to a traditionalist. Regular pegs with peg dope and maintained work ok, but not as well with higher tension steel core strings, granted that I don't use. I highly recommend them. Sometimes I keep a fine tuner on the e sometimes not. No one makes Atwood version, but I had heard that Knilling was considering it. I can change tuning on my violins with ease. I would never go back.
