Rubner 150-120a-EH Elegance

My handmade guitar has suffered the indignity of having cheap tuning machines fitted. This was largely due to a budget issue and I had resolved to upgrade them. After a lot of research I decided that, rather that spend a good deal more, I would give these a try. They are perfect. Their action is smooth and, after having fitted them a month ago, they do not slip. Also they look like more expensive ones.

The only negative comment is that one of the fitting screws had a defective head ,but that was easily rectified.

In summary, they perform well, look great and are good value

Quality heads that perform well, feel good and seem stable. They are perhaps a little too ornate, but the ebony buttons create an elegant, pleasing visual. They might benefit from a little more tension on the peg, but they are smooth and positive, with no play or vibration.

They are a standard Hauser design; ease of fitting is really dependent on your guitar - I had to ream the headstock slightly as the original rollers were a slightly narrower diameter; two extra screw-holes were also required. They now fit perfectly, with nothing visual to suggest they are replacements.
