I'm curious about planetary tuners for ukuleles. I know about Pegheds, and have heard good things about them. I'm not a fan of the looks, though.
I've also heard about 5 Star banjo tuners. They are also planetary, and also have a 4:1 gear ratio. I much prefer the more traditional look of this style.
The biggest difference seems to be the weight. Pegheds are aluminum, and the 5 Stars are brass (mostly). Obviously the 5 Stars would be heavier, and I have heard as much, but my question is how MUCH heavier?
Can anyone provide the actual weight of four 5 Star tuners and the weight of four Pegheads? I'm curious as to the actual difference....
