I see the Gotoh UPT's installed on soprano's and concert's. My question is can these great tuners be used on the larger scale ukuleles, the tenor's and baritone's?
 
Yes, I have them on my baritone
 
Should be no problem. I've had them on tenors with no issues at all.
 
Got them on a few ukes. The only thing I don't like about them is their very small diameter spindles for winding string. To me that's a design flaw. I like tuning machines that have a larger diameter spindle so that string doesn't wrap over itself or have to be unwound pulled up and tightened again.
 
I haven't had any trouble with them on one tenor and one baritone, but I don't change my strings nearly as often as Doc. :D
