i may  try  the chalk .  .. as for the  fine tuning ..  i  left the bridge  floating  for that  purpose ..   a lil   ,   twist   does  the trick   ;-)

The fiddle head is cool, don't get rid of the peg tuners. Try chalk (white blackboard or better yet, blue pool que chalk) to stop the pegs from slipping. Then add violin fine tuners to the tail piece to make fine tuning easier.
