Chuck Moore very kindly sent me a set of the new tuners after I had expressed an interest in trying them. They arrived yesterday and I was excited to look them over. My initial thoughts are, I concur with Chuck that they are not a good fit for high end instruments, they are probably going to be a game changer for the lower priced ones, with a big grey area for those in the middle. Functionally, I expect them to perform well and seem to be smooth and solid feeling. As far as retrofits are concerned, there should be no problem replacing friction tuners. With open geared tuners, it appears that they will only cover one of the screw holes, as the post is centered on them. If you have any questions, fire away and I will do my best to answer them. I am getting ready to close the box on a spruce top concert that I will put them on. You can probably surmise from the picture that I like to keep things light and thus their appeal to me.
