That copper bronze one and black one is super nice. Looks very very expensive

Not keen on the copper, personally. It just looks to me like the fake "copper effect" finish that manufacturers apply to modern items such as kitchen and bath taps and table lamps, and looks really false to me. I like the black and the gunmetal grey ones though. I'm happy to be a guinea pig and try a set on my Kanile'a if someone wants to sent me a set

A set of 6 is $ 180, so I'm guessing $ 120 for 4. That's if they do them in sets of 4.

Looks to me like someone is a bit envious of all those Grover Sta-tite cast base tuners being sold for after-market use.
Since I usually retro-fit to get rid of cast metal buttons anyhow I think I'll stay with $40 Grovers, they are a great tuner.

They're guitar tuners which means a thicker headstock. I think 18:1 gear ratio is a bit extreme even for guitar tuners. We already have Grovers and Waverly's, both of which work great for their price. I wouldn't use unless the client had to have them for their guitar, never on a uke, I can't stand ears.

I got burnt on Shaller open gear tuners years ago, the only so-called "high grade" tuner that consistantly slipped in normal use.
They are pretty, I hope they are good, but the market is not exactly begging for another tuner.

I have used 6 sets on guitars, now, and couldn't be happier.
I'm with Duane here. 18:1 is pretty bad already but I once had those gotoh 510 deltas which are 21:1 on a guitar. Took me a year and a lot of cussing to bring the strings up to pitch!
