[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 3882169, member: 55"]Possible I suppose; modern harp or autoharp pegs have screw-threads at the bottom; but I suppose in earlier times they might just have been driven into holes drilled in the wood. One might think they would not hold the tuning; but they are not that much different from violin-pegs; and violin-pegs have been holding their tuning for hundreds of years, without any fancy mechanical construction. Just glancing at a violin-peg, one would probably think "that's never going to work." But they do; and these might as well.[/QUOTE]
