Changed tuners on my new Timple today, and it got me thing about how and why many are so down on friction tuners.
To me though, I love them, but only when they are good quality. In my experience a good friction tuner turns smoothly and has no struggles with tuning. Beginners may like this link.

I know I may divide opinions, but Koaloha players with friction tuners will attest to how good they can be.
