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.

Dulcimer construction.

All items received did an excellent job job helping me complete my last dulcimer. I appreciate the ease in which I could place my order on line.

machine heads, open gears, bone color

I have used these Folkcraft machine heads over several years on dulcimers I have built and on one I modified with a four set with good results. I have some a set this moment ready to install on a dulcimer I working on. I've had no problems and would recomend them.

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