The peg pilot holes are drilled at 4mm prior to carving the scroll. Gradually opening them up to 5.5mm -
adjusting for straight in both planes. Not quite that simple - the G peg (viola) or D (violin) especially does not want to ride up
on the side of the upper peg head. The string from nut to upper peg 'has' to clear the G or D peg.
