Saw this on Facebook.



From a genius with the screen name Eldon Kanga.





Might be cheaper than the cheapest geared guitar tuners out there.







I'm going to give 'em a try.



Will post pictures as the project develops.

Smart, but ugly

Ah, you think it's ugly the way HE did it? Wait until you see how ugly I do it!

Great idea for a travel banjo.

You do ugly very well Mike. A real pro!

Can you make it extra ugly just for me?

Went to ACE Hdw to see what the furniture fasteners cost.
Looks like a set of 5, plus the bolts, would run about $15.
That's rather close to what a set of the cheapest guitar geared tuners would cost, so maybe I won't make a banjo with those.

They would look great for a slide guitar

Similar in concept to bridges manufactured for "headless" electric guitars and basses (but in this example, they've installed it at the opposite end)
