Last Spring, during my state's closure, I ordered a class set of ukuleles without being able to see and experience them in-person first. I had heard and seen good reviews on these instruments, but unfortunately they came with low grade tuners. Good quality tuners are essential when learning to play the ukulele, from holding the instruments in tune, to teaching students proper care and technique, so I want to replace the low-quality ones that came on these ukuleles. By replacing the current geared tuners, which can take a lot of force to turn even slightly, I will increase the life and playability of the ukulele class set. I would also be able to show students what proper tuners look and feel like, should they want to get their own ukulele in the future. These Grover tuners are well reviewed and recommended in the ukulele world, so I am sure these will be a good fit for my student ukuleles.
