Nickel Banjo Tuning Pegs, Set of 4

The Waverly tuning machines, inspired by the distinctive pegs used on prewar Florentine, Bella Voce and Granada banjos, as well as Martin OM guitars in the 1920s and 1930s, offer a handsome vintage touch to your instrument. Crafted with the best of vintage design and modern craftsmanship, these tuners feature a machined brass "2-Band" offset gear case and a grained ivoroid knob, which add a touch of elegance to your banjo.

Smoother than the original designs, the Waverly tuners benefit from 4:1 planetary gears, sealed lubrication, low-friction bushings, an internal tension spring, a leather knob washer, and an adjustable knob tension. These features ensure a smooth and accurate tuning experience, as praised by renowned musicians such as Sammy Shelor of the Lonesome River Band and Tony Trischka.

The brass string post has the original taper, ensuring the proper string angle over the nut, and the threaded hex bushing has a tapered washer to help protect the peghead finish. The tuners are designed to fit peghead thicknesses ranging from 7/16" to 3/4" (11.11mm to 19.05mm), with 3/8"-diameter pegholes required.

Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting your musical journey, the Waverly tuning machines offer a delightful blend of vintage charm and modern performance, elevating the sound and look of your beloved banjo. Crafted with the utmost attention to detail, these tuners are sure to become a cherished part of your instrument's journey.
