  Source for “Steinberger Gearless” tuners?

  Posted by Adan Akerman Akerworks Fine Instruments on January 7, 2025 at 10:03 am

  Hi! I just made a headless electric ukulele by misusing Steinberger’s headstock tuner drop-in replacement: https://www.instagram.com/p/DD0nVr_NWnV/ It’s fun, and I’d like to make more, (maybe even actually sand and apply finish to one!) but it sure would be nice to get the tuners at a wholesale rate if there’s a possibility of selling an instrument.

  I got these at 6/$100 from Stewmac (https://www.stewmac.com/parts-and-hardware/tuning-machines/solid-peghead-guitar-tuning-machines/steinberger-gearless-tuners/), so $80/uke isn’t the end of the world but it’s a lot worse than, say, $40! Anybody have a recommended source?
