Gotoh UPT-UBB Gold/Black Button Planetary Ukulele Tuners - set of 4

Check out these gold and black button Gotoh planetary ukulele tuners. These machine heads are reliable, functional and attractive. 

Gotoh's UPT planetary ukulele tuners were designed by Yusuke Kawakami to blend classic looks with modern functionality. The better the ukulele, the more important the friction/geared machine heads become in relation to the instruments weight, sound, sustain and it's ability to stay in tune.

These tuners are used and recommended by big brands in the ukulele world, including Blackbird, Martin and aNueNue. In short, these machine heads look like friction tuners but are actually geared tuners.

The Gotoh planetary tuners have 1:4 gear ratio. They share a lot more functional similarities with geared tuners, meaning they will rarely need tightening.

These machine heads need a hole 9.7-10mm long to fit and vintage ukuleles will often require minor work to make these tuners fit. They are designed for headstocks 10 - 12mm thick.

For thicker headstocks, use the Gotoh UPTL longer shaft tuners. Please measure your instrument carefully before ordering. Any questions, get in touch.
