New Brand of Tuning Machines

BuzzBD said:

Thanks for posting that Chuck, I am anxious to give them a try as I am all about light weight, geared tuners with a low gear ratio. I have installed over 100 sets of PegHeds, and love them except for the price and difficulty in installing them.

Teri and Curt bring up an important point: One big disadvantage of Gotoh UPT, to me, is that you have to do some reaming to install them, and that you still see the screw holes from previously installed geared tuners. Will these new Graphtech tuners slip right into place without drilling a bigger hole, and will the cap cover previous screw holes? If they do, they are a huge improvement over Gotoh. Otherwise, they are just a less expensive version of them. Ok, they are also lighter which will result in an instrument that has a lower center of gravity, but may also be adverse to sustain.

The thing about weight is it's easy to add, but much harder to take away.

I was wrong about the size of the mounting plate, it will fit my Fluke. They sent me this schematic. I'm going to NAMM Sunday and will stop by their booth.

I'm sure the price is for a complete set. Compare that to the larger Gotoh tuners which cost three times that price. Gotohs also require an enlarging of the tuner hole - not an ideal situation. I bet they'll have trouble keeping up with demand if they are as good as the video implies.
