Tuners

  • Thoughts About TunersWhat I think about tuners and about what we luthiers can do to make them work.
  • Gotoh Deluxe—These are the standard tuners on my guitars, the best I know of for the price. I've never replaced a set.
  • Gotoh PremiumThis is the finest Gotoh classical tuner available, similar in appearance to Rodgers standard.
  • Gilbert Individual Tuners—Very light weight, mechanically superb and uniquely attractive. 
  • Gilbert, Three/Plate—These Gilberts are a more conventional variation on the individual tuners.  There are numerous combinations of features available.
  • Irving Sloane—These bronze finish tuners are the finest made in the U. S., high precision, uniquely attractive.
  • Rodgers Tuners, Close Up—Now you get to see what a work of art are these tuners really are.
