I have a Martin S-1 that has friction and I'm wondering if it's possible to swich to geared and if so can I do it myself or what and what kind/brand
Thanks
Thanks
Yes, it can be done relatively easily. You'll have to enlarge the holes to allow for installation of the press fit bushings that will be supplied with the geared tuners. I've used a wood reamer to accomplish this but you could enlarge the holes by drilling if you have a drill press. These geared tuners are the ones I've used and they work real well:

Hope this helps...!!!
Yes thanks for the help
Do you know if there's a way to do it without drilling it?
