#peghead

First attempt at a scroll peg head for the prototype dulcimer. First side FAIL! Second side not so bad. ...For a beginner. I need to invest in some more and better gouges. And work in a better wood. But this is a prototype. #maker #diy #woodworking #woodworker #wood #dulcimer #peghead #scroll #luthier https://www.instagram.com/p/CpIqahELQ75/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Feeling out my first attempt at a carved scroll peg head for my dulcimer. I estimated positions for 2 pair of pegs and hollowing. The scroll was drawn mostly freehand with just a tiny bit of help from French curve. However, just to brag the second scroll was done completely freehand just by looking back and forth from side to side. I will likely take a photograph for repeatability since this will actually be part of a prototype build. I am not sure about the pinch angles yet, but for the moment they seem okay. If there are any standards or rules of thumb for them I would appreciate the information. #peghead #scroll #dulcimer #luthier #woodwork #woodworker #woodworking #wood #maker #diy https://www.instagram.com/p/Co8f6jrrB99/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Headplates are also called as Peghead. The main function of headplate is to house the pegs and hold the string at the head of the instrument. HeadPlates are placed by the headboards or machine heads. Machine heads are commonly used to tune the instrument by adjusting the tension of the strings. HeadPlates are similar to fingerboards in terms of their functioning. In most of the cases headplates and fingerboards are made from the same material with high-density woods.

Was up sick all night so I didn't have any energy to get the full video made, but I have the timelapse! Yeah, that family sickness finally swung around and got me. Ugh. #zatransis #mikehenry #peghead #yarf #procreate (at Hamburg, Germany)
