Folkcraft® Machine Heads, Open Gear, Chrome Button, Four Pack

Item Number 2340084

Regular price $23.00

These open-gear tuners have a 14:1 gearing ratio and a small chrome button. The post is just a hair over 1" long, and has a diameter of .236", which means it fits perfectly in a 1/4" hole. The post has two holes in it. The first hole is approximately 1/2" from the inside of the plate, and the second hole is approximately 7/8" from the inside of the plate. The machine heads can be used for either vertical (with a scroll head) or horizontal (with a flat head) mounting.

At Folkcraft Instruments, this open gear chrome button machine head is our preferred choice for the instruments we build with scroll heads. We generally do not use the bushings that are included with these dulcimer tuning gears.

Good parts. Tuners work well. All RR&J friendly. BTW, ever hear of “Original Mountain Music Dulcimer” Paradise, CA?

Great for retrofit...I'm ordering another set.

Brought new life to an aging dulcimer. The quarter inch shaft is useful for a lot of instruments with aging friction tuners. Thanks for your help!

Quality work for a reasonible price

My eyes are failing a bit ,and fretting a fingerboard is rather daunting. Yours is of top quality in both fit and finish, with a fair price also. I will be happy to purchase another when I start my next instrument. I do prefer a bit finer finish than you provided, but that does not mean your sanding was faulty. 'chacun a son gout' JF
