Independent shopping perspective
Grover’s U99-18 nickel set pairs 18:1 tuning adjustment with amber acrylic buttons and exposed gears. The machines sit on a die-cast plate and include the hardware needed for replacement work. Fit is the key consideration: the post hole measures 22/64 inch, the overall post length is 21 mm, and the stated string-gauge limit is .074 inch. Confirming those details before installation keeps the changeover aligned with the ukulele and its strings.
