Hi!
I have a quick question. I've used the D'Addario/Planet Waves Clip-On Micro Tuner as well as their soundhole tuner - both of which I really like. But the soundhole doesn't work on my current uke and I don't like having to take the clip-on off and on. Since I bring my OU with me quite a bit it would be easy for any clip-on tuner to potentially get knocked off, even one as small as the micro tuner.
I noticed that D'Addario has introduced a new "clip free"tuner just this year based upon their already established Micro Tuner mentioned above that looks like it would be perfect. Instead of clipping on, the tuner comes with a screw that replaces one of the screws that hold the headstock tuners on the uke. That way, it's always there, can't get knocked off, can't be seen from the front, basically - perfect for what I'm looking for.
Has anyone else used this yet? Being new to uke, I've never changed out geared tuner or anything so, while I'm assuming there's no reason that screw wouldn't work with my uke, I wanted to get your thoughts on it. Does anyone see a reason this shouldn't work on an Outdoor Ukulele?
Any thoughts you have would be brilliant! I'm including a link below so you can see the tuner, since, as they say, "a picture is worth a 1000 words"! Thanks so much in advance!
