BAZ,
Fair review. I agree with all you say. STOP putting electronics in. Even in tenor, which I play, NO,NO,NO. Second, I am surprised thAt Alvarez, Kala, etc, etc don’t use graphtech planetary tuners. Especially on a soprano. First, they are light and will do the job nicely despite, the tuner head issues some have had. They will look, better. No ears If nothing else go to open Grover tuners to minimize weight!. Intonation is horrible but proper set up from reliable dealer and perhaps different string could help. Proceed with caution and buy with set up unless you can do yourself. Thanks for review.
