Waverly's renowned design eliminates looseness in the gears, for maximum tuning efficiency. The precision-machined stainless steel worm gears, bronze alloy string post gears and 16:1 gear ratio assure smooth, accurate tuning. Each handsome engraved baseplate is computer-machined from a single brass billet, combining the ideal weight with unwavering stability. Classic satin silver or gold plating. Waverly tuners are a statement of quality!

Each set includes:
• Pair of 4-left, 4-right tuning machines
• Knurled press-fit brass peghead bushings
• Mounting screws

Gear ratio	16:1
Standard string post spacing	29/32"	(23mm)
Required peghole diameter	21/64"	(8.3mm)

Important: To be sure these tuners fit your mandolin, compare your existing tuner dimensions and peghole spacing to our specs before ordering. Waverly tuners will not fit Gibson A-style mandolins made before 1925. Golden Age Restoration A-style Tuners are available specifically for retrofitting these early mandolins that have wider (.931") string post spacing.

Installation Tips

Peghole spacing: 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.

Bushings: Get the right fit! Use our slow-speed #2061 Bushing Reamer (.328" diameter) to cut a clean, accurate counterbore for a professional job.

Mounting screws: Pilot holes required. Installing delicate screws into hard wood requires great care and accuracy. We highly recommend the #1712 Depth-stop Drill Bit (5/64" bit) for the pilot hole before installing these screws. Lubricate the screw threads with cutting lubricant (also wax or a bar of soap) to reduce friction and help them thread properly.
