The resonating unit also shows when there being something lose with the tuners ( like when knobs unstick from shafts sometimes ), as it will start rattling. One could also think of a more obvious construction like of a bow ( as from bow & arrow ), and how the dampening factor would be if you touched it at its ends. From there wooden pegs could be the most accomodating design anyway, considering their little weight and direct transfer of string tension to the gear head. However, I personally don´t expect least weight to always be the most desirable condition; with things rather being dependend on the individual resonating unit as a whole. For instance, I could think of a case when a top being a bit ( not overly ) stiff, with then a tad more inertia ( = weight ) on the head eventually in a reciprocal way helping to get the soundboard moving. Possibly, each corpus demanding its individually best fitting ( either more or less inert ) neck. Then again, sometimes things turn out unexpectedly. For instance, I used to think that a glued neck should always be best in order to transmit; however there exist necks like the replaceables from Hauser I, which are bolted ( similar to stratocasters ). Or David Schramm´s introduction of necks which are just jammed on ( losely held through levering against a srew head ), yet supposedly working out well. Ruphus
