Round Tuner Knobs

I don't recall ever seeing round - elongated - knobs on tuners. When I want to turn a tuner, I have to find the flat sides. After the uke is finally tuned, all the knobs are pointing in different directions. Round - elongated - knobs would be easier to use and look neater.

At one time, Chris-Craft boats had all their wood screw slots pointing in the same direction.

Hipshot (and likely others) make knurled, round tuner buttons for electric guitars. If you have tuners with removable knobs you may be able to do a straight swap. If the sizes are off for uke vs guitar tuners you could 3D print some to fit.

Great! Now I have an excuse to buy a 3D printer. (Kidding, of course).

I'll take a look at what Hipshot has.
