I've got a white label Kamaka tenor and the tuners are a bit grumpy and moody. Once in tune they stay in tune, but it takes a bit of finesse to get them there. For instance when I try to get the E up to tune, I turn the peg and get it to pitch, when I take my fingers off the peg, it slips down a bit. So I have to tune a bit sharp and let it slip back to pitch.
Any suggested maintenance or replacements?
I have a Silvertone Baritone that will stay in tune for awhile but then a couple of the strings will slip. I can tighten the screws on the tuners and that will help for a session or two, then they start to slip. Problem is I have to tighten the screws so tight that they are so tight it is hard to tune.
Any suggestions on maintenance or replacement.
These are players not collectors so I'm not against just replacing them.
