<p>Thank you Mark Bowen for giving some input. I have decided the economy tuners will be my start and now I am deciding on the standard economy vs the shane speal versions. Thank you again. Tim</p>

<p>I've had no problems with the CB Gitty tuners, but I have noticed a lot of variation in how 'tight' they feel. Understand one thing - all these tuners are WORM GEAR DRIVEN MECHANISMS. They cannot slip. They simply cannot slip. If one of these goes out of tune it is not the fault of the tuner, it is either faulty stringing (too few wraps), poor string anchor at the tail stock, something yielding (top, bridge, neck), or you haven't played the instrument in a long time!</p>

<p>The difference in price gives you a difference in feel and precision. Some of the cheap CM Gitty tuners feel as nice as Grovers, but that's dumb luck. Both will let you tune the instrument on pitch without difficulty, so you decide how much money you want to spend.</p> "Paralysis by analysis".

<p>Hey Wizzo, I do not make guitars for sale. I do however make soap cutters. The wires are tightened using guitar tuners. Imagine if you will a giant egg slicer, my latest one went to South Africa. I buy my tuners in bulk from China. Anyway, if you want to improve the quality of your inexpensive tuners you remove the gear and repress it onto the shaft. You can find a tutorial for this on page 47 (I think) of the Ray Jacobs free downloadable book " making a Ray Jacobs Rocky Mountain dulcimer"…</p>
