I bought a pair of D'Addario clip on micro tuners after seeing positive reviews about them from Barry Maz and Cool Cat Ukes. Even with the discussion of buzzing units, I liked them (put scotch tape on one to stop the buzzing).
I had one on my Martin S1, until one day I pulled it out of the bag and the tuner fell off...
It turns out that the "L" that holds it to the ukulele broke in the middle of the longer part of the 'L" making it a tuner without a way to attach it to the ukulele.
I contacted D'Addario, and they are sending out replacement units--which is excellent customer service. They do not sell replacement parts for the tuners.
However, I am still left with one tuner with a top mounting piece and no "L". I don't want to throw it out.
So...a couple of questions:
Has anyone tried using 3D printing to make a new "L" or would anyone be interested in such as task?
If not...does anyone have a non-working D'Addario micro tuner on which the "L" is still intact and would be willing to send to me?
Or does someone have everything BUT a working tuner and would want the tuner itself?
Thoughts? Suggestions?
