![]() Each time you play your ukulele, it is very important to ensure that the instrument is in tune. String instruments like the ukulele have tuning pegs, which can be turned in both directions to either raise or lower the pitch that corresponds to one of the ukulele strings. This process is called tuning, in which the instrument is carefully tuned to specific pitches. ↳ Lutes, Baroque and Renaissance Guitars, etc.All instruments need to be set to exact pitches in order to play music in modern scales.↳ Advice on buying, selling or valuing a guitar.↳ Guitar accessories and luthier supplies for sale.↳ Archives of past "Classical Guitars for Sale".↳ Historical Background to Classical Guitar pieces.↳ Classical guitar recording and amplification.↳ Ergonomics and Posture for Classical Guitarists.↳ Search for classical guitar sheet music.↳ Use of nails in playing the classical guitar.↳ Archives of Public Space and its subforums.↳ How to Participate in the Delcamp Classical Guitar Forum.Take a look at them and see if you can find any that actually can pinch the plate. I believe my Rodgers are the same, the plate can't be pinched by tightening the cog screw.įirefrets, you have many sets of tuners in your bin. I have another old el-cheapo (probably around $3) set of classical tuners that are unused which has the same shoulder to prevent pinching. I agree one should avoid over tightening the screw to avoid stripping it, not because it will pinch the plate. There is a round shoulder which acts as stop for the cog gear on the aluminum roller barrel which creates a set gap such that the plate can't be pinched if the screw is tightened more and more. I annotated these 2 photos to make my point. I am not trying to contradict Frank Ford or anyone else here but the Der Jung's I have do not exhibit this issue. I believe the statement is attributed to Frank Ford's site. I think firefrets is one but I can't find his post atm. There's various posts I've read that states something like: "Do not over tighten the cog wheel screw in order to avoid pinching the plate, thus making the tuner hard to turn". Here are some pics - if you scroll down you'll se the details of the tuners. These single tuners are relatively the most expensive tuners made by Der Jung (at least what is available in Germany), and still the whole set of 10 cost me 125 Euro including shipping. No play, no lag in either tuning direction. As the whole worm turns together with the button and the screw holding the button, the screw stay put as it is adjusted.Īfter lubrificating the parts with a teflon paste (normally used for hunting weapons) and fune-adjusting the friction the tuner works wonderfully smooth - as good as any of the hyper-names tuners I also have on other guitars. The friction can be fine adjusted with the screw holding the button. It is well seated in the uppper part of the carrier and has a double teflon or delrin washer bearing in the lower part of the carrier. after remowing the buttons one can also remove the worm. the the plate and the carrier is cast in one piece. My single Der Jung tuners I put recently on my new (used) 10 string guitar (K.Yairi YS10, had worn down Got tuners befor) have the same principal scheme, but with also significant differences: ![]()
