The Korena take

Built for ukulele tuning, these Grover Sta-Tite U98-18 machines use open gears and an 18:1 ratio for measured pitch adjustments. Die-cast plates and hardened steel gears support stable tuning, while the rosewood-button, chrome-finish look gives the set a distinct visual direction. They mount to the headstock as a drop-in replacement for similar Grover products.
