Schaller Classical Guitar Machines

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.

Nice tuners: good look and feel. Definite step up from the tuners that had been on the instrument. I found I had to tie the 1st, 2nd and 3rd strings on the tuning pegs though... something I don't have to do on any other of my classical's. (Even using the same strings).

Clean, smooth running and at the
right price for any guitar builder.

They were a significant upgrade to the tuners that came stock on a $1500 Rodriguez.
