Schaller M6 Pin Guitar Tuning Machine
The Schaller M6 Pin guitar tuning machine sets an industry benchmark for closed tuners, featuring an upgraded 1:18 gear ratio for exceptionally precise and smooth tuning action. All components are CNC-machined to exact tolerances and finished to ensure flawless operation and long-lasting tuning stability.
Equipped with high-grade brass posts perfectly fitted to the housing, each unit utilizes Schaller special grease for permanent, maintenance-free lubrication. The self-locking drive design guarantees even, responsive, and reliable performance under standard string tension.
An innovative stepped M6 flanged washer centers the string post securely through the banjo bolt without requiring a stepped peghead bore. This design eliminates tipping torque and reduces mechanical stress on both the post and the rear mounting fixture.
