Precise tuning song after song

Long life with less wear
The stainless steel worm gears have twin bushings for unrivaled life year after year. The string post gears are machined from bronze alloy, which is much more durable than brass. Brass string shafts are 1/4"-diameter with 1-3/8" (34.93mm) spacing.
Our specially blended dark tortoise material looks amazingly like protected hawksbill turtle shell—light passes through to show the incredible depth of color. Tuner set includes slotted, round-head mounting screws.

Installation Tips
Drill pilot holes for for mounting screws:
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.
