Yibuy 5 String Banjo Machine Heads Tuning Pegs w/Pearl Buttons Pack of 5

Absolutely Perfect.🤡

While I agree these are very cheap tuners they are still functional. I put them on a 130 year old Buckbee banjo to replace the old violin peg tuners. I have it strung up with nylon strings and the tuners hold tension well. Yes they look and feel cheap but they will work for the application. I recommend taking a little lite grease or oil and force it inside the tuners through the stat to make them perform a little smoother. Super duper fast shipping!

I bought these (2sets) with very low expectations based on the reviews. I bought them for two pre war tenor banjos as replacements for the original friction tuners. I was pleasantly surprised. I tune the banjos to ‘Irish ‘ tuning which cranks up some significant tension. I tuned one banjo with heavy strings (12 to 42) and the other with light (10 to 32) both are holding tune perfectly with no issues so far. Doing as good a job as my other pre war banjo that has Waverly pegs. Time will tell if they last but so far so good.

I bought these for a banjo from the 20's that belonged to my late uncle. Being a guitar player I was interested in fooling around with this banjo also. It needed a new head, strings, bridge and tuners. Since it is an entry level quality banjo I didn't want to spend a lot to get it playable. I bought these tuners despite the poor reviews based on their cost. I was hoping I'd be the exception and get a decent set. Two of the four (it's a tenor banjo) were defective. One was totally free turning and wouldn't keep any tension at all on the string and the other the gearing was hit or miss and was impossible to keep the string in a tuned position. Removed them and returned. Will have to invest in a better name brand set.If you have a display piece these are fine. I was impressed when I received them as they looked great. Nice chrome and finish and installed easily. Was equally disappointed when the working capability of the tuners was so poor.

I would say these tuning machines are decent. When used for a low tension instrument like a dulcimer they work well. Not completely smooth but not crunchy either. For the money I don't think you will be disappointed.

This item was delivered and is as described in the posting. I am happy with the purchase, Good job

Two of the tuners are hard to use,rough,and bind when using. The 5th string tuner works fine.

I love the design but the keys are loose so and will not hold where wanted so will not allow for proper tuning. They seem very well designed so maybe I got a set from a bad batch but, with no package pick up in my area I am stuck with them so I'll move forward.Peace, Grandpa Donnie
