Tuning a ukulele with UPT planetary tuners is a pleasant experience. Unlike friction pegs, there is a very wide range of "works well". Which brings us to the yes: Technically, the planetary gear is engaged by the screw that holds the button in place. Let's start with the no: You probably won't need to make any kind of adjustment. But on the off-chance that you do (you'll know - the post would un-wind from string tension) it's easy to tighten to the right amount of tension. With regard to headstock thickness (see above) you'll need to measure your headstock.ĭo I need to tighten the screws like friction pegs? Yes and no. We can do that on ukuleles ordered from our webstie The diameter should be 9.7-10mm or just a bit wider than 3/8". Will these fit my ukulele? If you are replacing friction pegs you will almost certainly need to have the peg holes re-bored. There is no difference in price. Please measure your ukulele carefully before ordering. Regarding string post length: There is an optional longer string post (UPTL) for headstocks with a thickness of 11.5 mm or more. These are high quality made in Japan with precision and excellence. The Gotoh Planetary 4 to 1 UPTL tuners offer a perfect and best solution to friction tuners. Also, friction tuners are not the easiest to get precise tuning as they tend to slip to far sharp or too far flat very easy.
When the screw is too loose the tuners will not hold in tune and when they are too tight they are hard to turn. Friction tuners use a screw that determines how hard or loose they are to tune.
