A revolutionary advance in tuning machine design! The totally new mechanism does away with conventional toothed gears and instead utilizes a patented "wave cut" gear train. The 10:1 ratio enables the most accurate and precise tuning you will ever experience. No more backlash or hunting for the perfect spot! Rickard Cyclone tuners are exquisitely made and finished and the operating feel is buttery smooth, unlike that of many tuners which may feel notchy and imprecise. These are, without question, the finest tuners available. Find out why the pros are installing these on every banjo they own!
