cheapies at $12.95 --- but hey, maybe not bad if brand spankin new___open back, and the white plastic buttons actually look a little old school -- and I bet would be easy to scuff up with steel wool and age/stain them to yellow them up a bit.

excellent -- I'm hoping they work just fine for our needs...I heard one iffy review that said one of the gears stripped the very first time they tried to string it up -- but I'm guessing that it's like any lo-budge mass produced item --- you'll get a dud here and there. But the majority of folks said CB Gitty 's work just fine. And that price. I suppose if we're gonna go all out on a fancy build, we might drop the dime for better tuners, but for the average CBG? Let me know how your cb gittys string up and work when you get them installed! Thanks, ET

Sorry I bought his last set and they arrived today. :) I dont know much but when I checked them out the quality seems no different than the Ping Presision tuners I get from my local shop and you cant beat Gitty's price

Dan Peel said:
Just checked. C.B. Gitty is currently out of stock on tuning gears.

Eric Townsend said:
then I'll definitely get my tuners from c b gitty -- too many people have said they work just fine. and that price? and from a good guy? Thanks all for the input! ET

id just as soon buy from c b gitty same price but at least i know the guy has good business practices
Here is a deal that I think is hard to beat. I built a hourglass dulcimer using the Folkcraft.com hardware package. $21.31 total

http://tinyurl.com/235j66p

4 geared tuners
4 feet fret wire
2 1.5" Delrin nut/saddle material (can be ground down and re-slotted for CBGs)
4 anchor pins
4 strings (2 .011, .013, .024BW)

Everything, except perhaps the 2 lightest strings, work on CBGs.

They also have a good selection of tuners.

Now get out there and build something.
