I'm getting tired of fighting my friction KoAloha tuners on my concert and was interested in suggestions for replacements. Gotoh seems to be the most talked about on this forum. Are there other options, sizes, and is installation something I can easily do?

Thanks
 
I have GOTOH UPT's on a few Ukes. Strongly recommend.

My SS KoAloha has the traditional friction pegs and they are stiff.
 
I just assumed Gotoh UPT would automatically fit on my KoAlana/Opio prototypes (the limited box set which was the Thai -made precursor to the Opios) and was disappointed to find out they are too big. The holes in the uke heads will need re-sizing. And so I'm stuck with 8 Gotoh UPTs until I can get to someplace (outside of China) that can do the job right.

Lesson learned: make sure the tuner fits before buying.
 
Gotoh UPT tuners are awesome, but they need wider holes. HMS has done an instructional video on how to install them (I lack the tools and skills to do this):
