Kluson® 2 Per Side Or Single Vintage Diecast Series Bass Or Banjo Tuning Machines

Kluson®'s reissued Bass/Banjo tuning machines! Staying true to the design in virtually every aspect using planetary gears with a 12:1 ratio (wind rate = to 14.6:1 ratio), the exact mounting screw pattern, housing size, and appearance with the 5/16 inch string post. Because these tuning machines have a larger string post they do require the original larger peg hole which is very similar in size to what is used for modern diecast tuning machines.

The "T" and "B" on the bottom plates depict the treble or bass side and are only visible when the tuning machine is not installed. Available in gold, nickel, and chrome plating in sets of 2 + 2 for banjo and bass or individually as listed here.
