I had Tim Smith (savethebanjos.com) switch out the old friction tuners on an old SS Stewart banjeaurine. I wanted to use steel strings vs. nylgut. The old tuners really weren't made for steel strings and they "slipped". These "pegheds" have internal gears. They work very smoothly and actually "hold" the tuning much better than the old tuners. Also, they look very "authentic" for the period. My pegheds are black (vs brown as shown on pegheds site).
