darylcrisp -> slothead tuners-weight and maker? (Jun. 16 2011 0:21:35) So for a Flamenco, i assume the weight of tuners(slothead) is an important thing-correct? Is it better to have less weight? From which company have you found excellent slothead tuners: 1)waverly 2)sloane 3)others? Has anyone used the new Schertler's? Last question: As a builder, do you find the "3 on a plate" or the single tuner for each hole, makes a difference? thankyou d

estebanana -> RE: slothead tuners-weight and maker? (Jun. 16 2011 2:31:15) Mid range cost Gotoh tuners are quite light, my first choice for flamencos unless some one requests a higher priced tuner. Sloanes are nice, slightly heavier. Three on a plate for traditional looking a flamenco.

Sean -> RE: slothead tuners-weight and maker? (Jun. 16 2011 4:15:42) Mid range about $70 Gotoh tuners perform the best and is what I recommend. Alessi makes flamenco tuners check their site, no idea the cost but its probably your first born child and I don't know anyone in North America that stocks them.
