From GraphTech's website:
Ratio Guitar Machine Heads are being installed on more and more l major guitars, including Washburn, Martin, Framus, Riversong, and Fretlight.
This got us thinking, why are ukuleles such a pain to tune? Ukuleles are so much different from guitars. Ukes have a shorter scale, nylon strings and weigh a lot less. No wonder they are so hard to tune! Most ukes have heavy machine heads originally designed for guitar with a 14:1 or 16:1 gear ratio... !
The worlds lightest machine head, with a uke friendly 6:1 gear ratio! This super light, yet strong machine head makes ukes balanced, not headstock heavy, and with zero back drive and zero backlash!
The end result? Dare we say, an Ukulele that is fun to tune!
MSRP $29.95
Will these fit my ukulele?
Will these work to be installed on the ukulele I want to buy?

Flawed manufacturing. Should be recalled 0 people found this helpfulI purchased a set of these a few years ago. Soon after putting them on my Uke, one of the posts broke off while the Uke was hanging on the wall. The company sent me a new set saying "Yeah, we are aware of the problem". Yesterday after about a year of hanging on my shop wall, Another post broke off and took the string with it. I'm sorry to say these are not recommended.

One con retracted. 0 people found this helpfulI retract my previous con. I got these fitted up on my cordoba without spacing. Although they did change the string angle off the nut slightly, thought look great and the uke still sounds great! I left the metal peg holes in so I didn't have to ream the holes and I really like the contrast. Definitely getting another set!

These are awesome! One small con. 0 people found this helpfulMan these thing sold out fast! Just got these tuners today and I can't wait to slap them on! they look and feel great. There is one con though. The post are longer than I expected and will fit better on the thicker headstock on my Kala than the thinner cordoba which I had intened them for. Spacing them slighty off the back the headstock may work. We'll see.
