In the end, despite words of warning from StewMac, the differences in measurements, diameter and length were not that great and the new ones fitted without any modification.Īnd a side benefit, I met luthier Esteban Eijo and saw his workshop. (Not sure I like them but early days).Īs can be seen the new machine is on. Even with the order I made,I bought EJ25B strings at less than half the price I can buy them in Europe. I can imagine halving the weight being noticeable even to me.Īs for StewMac I hope they continue for years to come offering great customer care. RE: Sloane machine replacement ( in reply to NorCalluthier)īrian interesting thoughts. Sustain increases with weight on the head. I think that with the head slots for machines, the F6's will come close to the head weight of a set of Planetary Pegs. They come in at 180 grams a set, and particularly for a flamenco, that's heavy!Ĭurrently I'm interested in Allesi's at 120 grams a set for classicals, and their F6 model that weighs only 95 grams per set, for flamencos. However, the addition of the steel ball bearings has made them altogether too heavy for my taste. I have used the Sloane tuners for years as I prefer the "Landstorfer//Hauser" look, and the tasteful appearance of a bronze plate. I use the bad one to rip my split bracing stock, as its thin kerf gives better yield. The clerk took a minute to look through my orders to make sure I had bought one, and then sent out the new one, without asking me to return the bad one. Several years ago they replaced a fret saw blade for my table saw that was cutting a couple of thou under size.

Stew Mac is under new ownership, and they seem to be carrying on the old ownership's policy of keeping their customers happy. RE: Sloane machine replacement ( in reply to flyeogh)
