I was looking for black fine tuners for A and E strings because I wanted to replace my original gold-trimmed one. (I think this is looking much better than the gold ones, especially if your violin has black and silver fittings on it.) They are well-made, the quality is solid, and they're doing their job as they're supposed to, so it's easy to turn. If you need new fine tuners, then buy this one, you won't be disappointed!
