Here are some close-up pictures of the top of one of my 'Dhrupad Tamburas' showing the Peghed® planetary pegs installed. They work quite smoothly, eliminating the need for fine-tuning beads and they never slip. Note that I have used cello 'grips' on this particular instrument but these are not cello-style pegs. Cello pegs would have the string winding in the middle. Chuck Heron at Pegheds has a different kind of peg ("akonting") which allows the winding on the outside of the neck like this. So they are great for Indian instruments. There are some other pictures of the Dhrupad Tambura here.
