eventually, i plan on changing out the tuners in my brother's sunlite tenor with some grover geared tuners. but right now, he is having some trouble with the friction tuners that it has. they are ever so slightly slipping. to some this may not be too much of an issue, but if i know my brother, this bothers the heck outa him. he has to have it perfectly in tune. and its not just that the strings are settling. he can feel it giving way when he lets go of the key when tuning.
so does anyone here know how to increase the tension on friction tuners? basically he doesnt care if he has to use a vice grip to turn the keys to tune his uke... as long as it stays where he put it and doesnt slip backward.
