Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For a ukulele setup that calls for the Sta-Tite #8 Series, these chrome tuning machines combine an open-gear design with a 14:1 ratio for controlled tuning adjustments. The 1-inch posts keep the hardware low in profile, with string holes positioned .775 inch from the base plate. Their 25.3 mm overall post length provides winding room for strings up to .064 inch, making those measurements central to a replacement check.
