"Simply the best you can get." — David GrismanOur uncompromising design features patented threaded worm tension bushings that eliminate looseness, for maximum tuning efficiency.The precision-machined stainless steel worm gears, bronze alloy string post gears and 16:1 gear ratio assure smooth, accurate tuning.Performing artists stay in tune with Waverly:“The best tuners in the world.” — Chris Thile“They have changed my life.” — Sam Bush"I love Waverly tuners. The keys move with ease and hold strong, two important qualities we must have to perform night after night. I have Waverly tuners on all my mandolins." — Rhonda VincentUltra-smooth operation, precise, reliable tuning, long life and classic beauty.Each handsome engraved baseplate is now computer-machined from a single brass billet, for lighter weight with unwavering stability.Standard spacing measures 29/32" (0.906") between each string post.String post diameter: 0.236"Required peghole diameter: 21/64 or 0.328"Each set includes: • Pair of 4-left, 4-right tuning machines• Knurled press-fit brass peghead bushings• Mounting screws Installation TipsPeghole spacing: Plate-mounted tuners can't work efficiently if the pegholes are improperly drilled. These tuners require precise 29/32" spacing for accurate alignment.Bushings: Get the right fit! Use a slow-speed 0.328"-diameter reamer to cut a clean, accurate counterbore for a professional job.Mounting screws: Pilot holes required. Installing delicate screws into hard wood requires great care and accuracy. We highly recommend a 5/64" bit for the pilot hole before installing these screws. Lubricate the screw threads with cutting lubricant (also wax or a bar of soap) to reduce friction and help them thread properly.
