Performing artists stay in tune with Waverly:
“The best tuners in the world.” — Chris Thile
“They have changed my life.” — Sam Bush
“The frequent need for retuning during a show is gone.” — Ronnie McCoury
"I love Waverly tuners. The keys move with ease and hold strong, two important qualities we must have to perform night after night. I have Waverly tuners on all my mandolins. I wouldn't want to use anything else. They are the best!" — Rhonda Vincent

Ultra-smooth operation, precise, reliable tuning, long life and classic beauty.

Each handsome engraved baseplate is now computer-machined from a single brass billet, for lighter weight with unwavering stability. Satin gold or silver plating. Choose genuine mother-of-pearl knobs or solid ebony knobs.

Standard spacing measures 29/32" (.906") between each string post.

String post diameter: .236"
Required peghole diameter: 21/64 or .328"

Set includes a pair of 4L/4R tuning machines, mounting screws and knurled press-fit brass peghead bushings. Mounting screws included.

Peghead Bushing Reamer
For Waverly mandolin tuning machines

Get the right fit! This slow-speed bushing reamer has a 1/4" pilot and 11/32" shank. Two 1" flutes cut a .328"-diameter counterbore for Waverly press-fit peghead bushings.


Tip: Plate-mounted tuners can't work efficiently if the pegholes are improperly drilled. Our Mandolin Peghead Drill Jig ensures precise 29/32" spacing for accurate alignment for these tuning machines.


To be sure these tuners fit your instrument, compare your existing machines and peghole dimensions to our listed specs to help determine the best replacement.

Great Mandolin Tuners

I bought a F-5 Kit From Stewmac around 1992 and bought a set of cheap tuners, I have stuggled with the tuning and thought it was the way I put the kit together. After installing the Waverly Tuners I can fine tune and the Instrument stays in tune. The tone is better because my F-5 is actually in tune. Great Tuners

Very High Quality But Pricey

There are no negative issues with these tuners, they are excellent in both appearance and functionality. .
