if you get a ukulele with peg head tuners (or planetary tuners) you should be just fine. i got some on a soprano i recently purchased from here and although the strings were brand new and needed stretching they held very well. it took a while to stretch them out but they hold their tune so well now. and the peg heads are just fun to work with too. i am much more attentive when it comes to the tuners that are on a ukulele now that i feel i have had a set of nice tuners. it really makes a difference

Good to hear

. I've read that the peghed tuners work really well, but they house an internal gear with a 4:1 ratio. They use the same technology as modern geared tuners. They don't give you any of the headaches that standard (cheap) mechanical friction pegs will... and that's a GOOD thing.

Just messed around with a Makai today that had the regular/standard "B" type gotoh tuners. There was a back and forth play on two of them. The premium kind with the double stack of rings was on the new E-P Kamoa I tried and those worked much better.
