Specs
"Waverlys are smooth, accurate, and dependable."
—Sammy Shelor, The Lonesome River Band

"Very efficient and smooth banjo pegs. I highly recommend them."
—Tony Trischka

The ultimate tuning pegs for Mastertones or similar banjos, and for adding a vintage touch to new instruments or fine OM-style guitars.

Vintage-style tapered string post, for proper string angle over the nut.

Old-style hex bushing for a clean peghead appearance. 3/8"-diameter pegholes required.

Peghead washer with tapered underside to help protect the peghead finish.

Machined brass offset gear case with incised vintage 2-band decoration. 4:1 ratio planetary gear design, with brass ring gear and steel pinion gears.

Low-friction bushings and new internal spring for smooth, non-slip operation.

Traditional ivoroid plastic knob with leather washer for proper knob "feel."

These pegs will fit 7/16" to 3/4" (11.11mm x 19.05mm) peghead thicknesses. Tuners are available individually, or in sets of four. They are assembled and inspected in our plant in Montana, USA.

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

Made a huge difference

I just received the tuners today and installed them on a 1972 OME single X open back . This completes my restoration of this instrument and I could not be happier. They were very straight forward and easy to install. Well worth the price. They made the difference between a great banjo and an EXCEPTIONALLY great banjo.

Waverly Banjo Tuning Pegs

I bought a set to replace originals on an old B&D Special #1 tenor I was restoring. They arrived just in time to install for a St. Patty's Day gig and worked great!! Pretty much true to the originals.

Waverly planetary banjo tuners

These tuners were an upgrade to my 1924 Gibson tenor banjo. They are very high quality and they are made in the USA.

Great Customer Service

A set of these tuners were shipped to me as replacements for the 30+ year old 5-star tuners I had on my '29 Granada. The Waverly tuners (gold plated) look fantastic and work really well, making my old banjo a pleasure to play once again.

easy to install on a very old banjo

and well worth it - so easy to tune and still be able to enjoy the hide head on a very old, probably Sears or Montgomery Ward - added some weight to the peg head, but again - it's worth it

Excellent Tuning Pegs WIth Excellent Warranty

I have had the Waverly pegs on my Gibson Banjo ever since I got the instrument and had trouble free service for many years until I started having trouble with the pegs slipping. If I tightened the tension screw enough to prevent slipping the pegs were almost impossible to move. I contacted Stew Mac and one of their knowledgeable reps told me the pegs were lifetime warranty if indeed they were original Waverly . To make a long story short I received excellent service on the warranty and put my old banjer back in top shape! I replaced the original Schaller 5th string peg with a Waverly Planetary peg and that made all the difference in the world!!
I can truthfulls say that the Waverly pegs are the absolute best I have tried or used and they come highly recommended from me!

Thanks for the great service Stew Mac!

Smooth operators

I bought a set of Waverlys to replace the worn-out friction pegs on a crappy old open-back banjo and was immediately impressed with the good looks, smooth mechanism and ease of tuning. Later I purchased two more sets from StewMac for banjos I'm making from scratch. Unfortunately the tiny mounting pin which keeps the tuner from rotating in the peghead was missing from one tuner - a manufacturing defect. StewMac have replaced the tuner at no cost to me, including air freight. How good is that??
