Independent shopping perspective
Grover’s 409 Series set is a vintage A-style mandolin tuner option with white buttons and a gold finish. Its 18:1 ratio is intended for precise tuning and stable intonation, while the open worm-under gears, die-cast plates, and bell-top screws give the headstock a period-minded appearance. The 25/64-inch post hole and 30.3 mm post length provide the key measurements to check when matching this set to a mandolin.
