Schaller M6 180 Guitar Tuning Machine
The Schaller M6 180 tuning machine delivers exceptional tuning accuracy and smooth operation with an advanced 1:18 gear ratio. Designed to build upon the legendary original standard set in 1966, this modern iteration combines cutting-edge engineering with classic performance.
Precision CNC-machined components and premium brass string posts are housed with high-grade lubrication for a self-locking, maintenance-free, and wear-resistant gear mechanism. Each unit ensures maximum tuning stability and sensitive adjustment across all playing conditions.
The innovative stepped M6 flanged washer centers the string post securely over the banjo bolt, eliminating tilting torque and protecting the headstock without the need for stepped boreholes. It offers direct drop-in capability for seamless installation.
