Put a set of Grover 6B tuners on my concert Fluke. The stock 2B Grovers still worked, but with no washers, had a major grind when turning, not user friendly. Even before stringing this uke, I can feel that the 6B set is silky smooth, with washers on both sides. The posts are a tad longer, and after I put the first one on, I thought the tuner opposite it wasn't going to fit, but it finally did. The only snafu was when I dropped one of the tiny cone shaped washers. It couldn't just fall on the floor, no, it had to fall down into a floor grate for the forced hot air heating duct in the floor. Arrgghh! After a half hour of reaching in that tiny space, I finally found it, along with 20 years of other assorted dust and trash. Lesson learned.
These are a drop in replacement, no drilling required. They stick out a bit longer, but look good to me. Got them thru a Sweetwater sale for $17.00 shipped on eBay.
