Structure of the Lute
The Pegbox

    The pegbox of a lute is at the end of the neck.  Inside it each string is wrapped around a tapered peg that can be twisted to adjust its tension and thus control the pitch.  When there are multiple pegboxes, as in the case of the instrument shown, each pegbox normally has its own nut.
