On some guitars, as they come from the factory, you turn all pegs the same way to tighten, and the opposite way to loosen them. That is what I am used to.
On others I have noticed, the three treble strings turn one way to tighten, and the three bass strings the opposite way.
I think most ukuleles do it the second way, where the two lower string tuners turn the opposite way to tighten as the two higher ones.
Is there any logical reason for these two different ways to set up the tuners, or is it just a matter of tradition?
It seems simpler to me to turn them all the same direction to tighten, same direction to loosen, rather than having two different ways, depending on which string. But I guess if one gets used to the other way, that seems natural and simple too.
Is it only a matter of custom and tradition---
Or--do some thing it could affect the sound, and/or the durability of the instrument?
