Peghed tuners
The outside part of a tuner is anodized aluminum. The inner shaft which runs between the grip and the string post is tool grade steel, and so are the hypoid planetary gearswhich revolve around that center shaft. Yes, backing the grip away from the string post allows the srtring to be wound quickly and effortlessly. Pushing the grip toward the string post enables it to stay in place and hold tension on the string.
They come in two different lengths of shafts. The shorter one is 19mm from the threads which are at the face of the peghead/headstock to the base of the grip.
If your instrument is 15mm or less in thickness, the short one is very compact. The other length is 27.5mm from the face of the peghead to the base of the grip. If your pehead is thicker than 15mm, the longer one is necessary. It takes 4mm for screwing the unit into the instrument.
There is a similar unit for sale on Music 123/Musician's Friend .Their warranty is for 45days. PEGHEDS are warranted by the maker for their lifetime in an instrument if they are installed properly and not grossly abused. They are either repaired or replaced. You just pay the shipping both ways.

www.pegheds.net is my website. Because the maker is full time busy making them, if you buy less than ten sets at a time, you pay full retail. 10 to 24 sets gets you a ten percent discount. Buy them from the website pegheds.net and you get a 20% discount if you just buy one set.
The price of the long or short ones is the same...$54.00 plus shipping.
