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

Standard spacing measures 29/32" (.906") between each string post.
String post diameter: .236"
Required peghole diameter: 21/64 or .328"

Ultra-smooth operation, precise, reliable tuning, long life and classic beauty.
Each baseplate is computer-machined from a single brass billet, for lighter weight with unwavering stability. Nickel plated and engraved with a subtle pattern. Choose the knobs to adorn your set: genuine mother-of-pearl, solid ebony or elegant polished ivoroid.

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

Handmade in Bozeman Montana USA.

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.
