Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-finished Sta-Tite #8 Series tuning machines for ukulele use, with an open-gear layout and 14:1 ratio for measured tuning changes. The shortened 1-inch posts place the string holes .775 inch above the base plate, keeping the post layout low in profile. With 25.3 mm of overall post length, they offer winding space for strings through .064 inch gauge. Match those post and string dimensions before choosing them for a replacement.
