Gotoh Planetary Tuner -- Ebony Buttons?

Try this site. Not sure how responsive they are, but they are the makers of the UPT

Thanks, guess I gonna ask gotoh if they have an idea.

It's only that I really hate plastic tuner buttons. For my hands they feel just cheap and don't fit to an expensive ukulele... :)
 
linho, go to Luthers Mercantile,Inc. (LMI) and look for Gotoh tuners. they show gotoh tuners in a deluxe model, gold with ebony knobs.
 
There are no ebony buttons available for the UPT tuners, so far, and none planned that I am aware of. The only material other than plastic is aluminum for the two button styles borrowed from the Stealth series (UB2, UB3).

They are a distributor, not the manufacturer.

Yes, Gotoh makes them. We* just designed them.

Or does anyone know if Wooden Buttons for other tuners work for the Gotohs too?

Doubtful. Not even the planetary banjo buttons fit on the UPT tuners.

* By "we" I mean not me. Yusuke Kawakami (the other half of Japarts) designed them.
