I'm Kind of curious why some makers use sealed tuners? And others open geared?
My 7 mos old Ko'Aloha KTM-00 came with a sealed tuner that was loose and got looser as I used it. It didn't hold the string in tune very well. Ko'Aloha sent me a replacement.
You can't tighten or adjust anything on a sealed tuner (Only exception are the "sealed" tuners on my Fender NoHea. There is an oil hole on those.)
So why use them? Is it strictly aesthetics?
What's your preference?
