Easy beans on stringing Daniel. There’s no gears to fine tune however. One on one ratio. But it stays put. A problem with cheap friction pegs is strings going flat. I like the nylon strings. Not slippery but great for easy fingering and finger sliding. Too soft for slide bar play though. I like the soft sound.
Grovers, good tuning machines make a difference. no ball ends on gut strings? how do you anchor them? traditional tying? Are they slippery? Hard to start on the tuning pegs?
Thanks you guys. You make me feel good. I can’t put my new baby down and she’s already teaching me new tricks. She plays so easy. She sounds like she looks. Simple and old even as a child. the headstock shape is traditional banjo style. I have one such waiting for restoration. I even used a set of Grovers instead of my old Chinese two holers. Gut strings make it an old time banjer. I’m thinking much of an instruments sound qualities come the strings you put on it. Take my little cigar box cellos. It’s the strings. Gut string banjo and walla! Old time sound.

Good solution, pretty. On my uke i used those small aluminum cable clamps, threaded them back and forth, and smashed them. Doesn't look bad.
Beads with a big knot on the string end Daniel. Works just like a ball end guitar string.
