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.

Machine Heads/Open Gear/Chrome Tuners

Real pleased with the installation ease and the quality of the tuners! Very Happy that they work smoothly. The spare screw didnt get used but I appreciated the thought since my workshop floor has spaces in the floor boards!

Great Customer Service

I received my 1st order quickly, unfortunately, the package was mismarked and the wrong strings were enclosed. I contacted and had an immediate response. The correct strings were shipped the next day at no charge & no hassle. This is a company with great standards and customer service. I will defintely being doing more business w/them in the future. Outstanding!

Tuning pegs & strings!

Both the tuning pegs and dulcimer strings are great! They make my dulcimer sound better and it’s easier to tune. I am new to playing the dulcimer and I emailed to ask a few questions and he was extremely helpful and replied within the same day. I highly recommend using Folkcraft for all your instrument needs!

These are great. I replaced the old fashioned tuners which I had to use a screwdriver every time I tuned my dulcimer. Now its easy.
