Schaller Classical Guitar Machines

These are, in my opinion, great tuners. Their tuning stability seem to be better than typical industry standard equivalents. The Schallers are truly sexy, but the gold colour is a bit too flashy for my taste. At this price, I would not buy anything else. Also, StewMac excels at S&H. Delivered to Norway in 7 days.

Very cost-effective tuners. A very good match between accuracy (16:1 ratio!), look and general quality (the ebony buttons are perfect!). It is worth the price definitely for people like me who can't or don't need to afford high-class tuners but just seek fine, decent ones.

I am pleased with my purchase of these tuners. I've never replaced tuners on a guitar before, so I based my selection of these on reviews and the price. Though I am sure higher-priced tuners would be much better, these Schaller tuners are a definite improvement to what came on my Cordoba C7. I did have to drill two new screw holes, but it wasn't a big deal. They look great, and tune rather accurately.

I built an electric upright guitarrón (EUG) that breaks down and fits in my suitcase for air travel and practice during vacations. I wanted classical guitar tuning machines because they are compact and my EUG has six strings. These Schaller tuning machines work fine on my instrument even though my largest string is 0.135 inches in gauge. Solid construction (no wobble) as well as smooth, firm operation, and the 16:1 ratio is a major improvement over the cheap tuners I used on the prototype. They look great, too.

For the price, there is probably not many better sets available.

Le meccaniche Schaller per chitarra classica non solo sono eleganti e ben realizzate, ma precise nell'accordatura e stabili... Poi i pomellini in ebano sono fantastici...

These tuners are perfect, and beautiful. Very high quality, tunes easy and stays in tune.

Gostei ,boa precisâo .

Excellent keys, amazing function. I would like also to suggest to your site to bring accessories-keys and for instruments like bouzoukis and other Greek instruments. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need any information, I'm sure that alot of luthiers will be interested.

Fitting

I was a little disappointed regarding the tuners. The measurements in the diagram is a little off. In the end , the holes did not match up with the mounting screws. I have to drill new holes. Because I live in Canada, returning the item was a bit of a hassle

Mechanism

I was a little disappointed with the design of the tuner. The worm is basically pressed- tight by a "folded" piece of metal on the inside (invisible of course on the outside). This means the tuner would not stay tight / accurate for the long haul. The tuners are a little tight overall. Not as good as the Grovers I have on my Taylor. with the amount of money I paid, I was hoping for a better design.

Tone

The tone did dramatically improve. I should have shelled out just a little bit more money for something even better.
