View Full Version : I saw amn Opio Tenor with banjo tuners, is this an old model? It is new.
All others i see have non banjo tuners so i an curious. I should add I saw it on line, seller says it is a tenor, i have my doubts. I think they may have used the wrong photo. Thanks

I believe it is a stock photo of a smaller body.

13 frets to the body, definitely a concert, I own one.:-)Probably a stock photo as you say

What do you mean by "banjo tuners"? Looks like the standard friction tuners:

Yes, that's a concert Opio in the picture with the regular KoAloha friction tuners they come with. Another way to tell it's a concert is by looking at the bridge; it's smaller and engraved.

Maybe someone has replaced the stock tuners with planetary tuners. My banjo uke came with banjo planetary tuners.

just wondering what you people consider "banjo tuners"?
He referred to friction tuners. It is what is shown in the picture (the Opio Concert), and when you Google "banjo tuners", you get images of friction tuners/pegs. :)

Does that mean my Opio concert is really a banjo in disguise........cool. Except I now gotta learn to clawhammer......that's hard :p
Banjo tuners in guitar talk are tuners that have rhe tuning buttons in the back, not coming out of the side or slothead style. http://www.stewmac.com/Hardware_and_Parts/Tuning_Machines/Banjo_Tuning_Machines/Waverly_Banjo_Tuning_Pegs.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=2016-03-gp&gclid=CKf2v6eEqssCFUodgQod30cOEw
Thanks for the info, i thought it was smaller than a tenor.
Spoke to this dealer. They say KoAloha sets these up in Hawaii and that isxall that is needed. Any thoughts on this, the price is very good.
