Planetary/straight style tuners for steel string

[lamanoditrento]

Hi There,

I would like to have straight string pull on my current steel sting build but not have an asymmetrical headstock. So I am thinking of something like planetary tuners going straight through the headstock. The only option I know of is Steinberger Gearless Tuners. Does anyone else have any other ideas?

Cheers

Forgot to ask, could I use planetary banjo tuners?

Not sure about a steel string but I used banjo tuners on an african lyre harp which had steel strings.

Do you know of a supplier at all Trevor? I could only find pegheds http://www.pegheds.com/index.htm 4:1 for flamenco guitars

Send an email to Chuck Herin (via Contact on his site) and ask him if he still makes the 16:1 pegs for steels strings.

They don't look planetary though

I never heard back from Pegheds so assume that is a no go for steel string. Instead I have ordered 2 sets of banjo tuners and see how they go. They are 4:1, so not preferable but my only other option is Steinbergers
