Most modern classical tuners have string rollers with a diameter of 10mm and a length of 30mm. Other rollers are longer at 32mm and some are 13/32″ (10.3mm) diameter which we also supply.
Likewise, are all machine heads the same?
There are SIX main types of tuning machine heads which include Sealed tuners, Lock-in tuners, side mounted tuners, vintage closed-back, vintage open-back, and staggered posts. There are many types of tuners but they generally fall into the category of Vintage or Sealed Machines.
Similarly one may ask, are Der Jung tuners good? Just wanted to recommend Der Jung tuners as a great alternative to other mid priced brands like Gotoh, Rubner and Schaller. They are well built, got an attractive look (at least some of them) and they are cheap. Ratio is 1:14 or 1:18 and operation is smooth and stable.
Considering this, do machine heads affect tone?
Guitar tuners will effectively not affect the tone of your instrument in a perceptible way. However, they will change the mass of the guitar’s headstock which may lead to a change in resonance and response to certain frequencies that might ultimately modify your sound in a very slight manner.

What kind of tuners does Martin use?
What are being referred to as Martin tuners, are Gotoh tuners with our logo on them. In a response on an earlier thread I was told that the “Martin” branded tuners on my D12X1 were Pings. The tuners referred to were on Standard series guitars which have different tuners than the series below the standard line.
Who makes Martin guitar tuning machines?
The most protruding side of the button at the shaft should be on the inside, not the outside. AFAIK, the Martin branded 14:1 tuners are made by Gotoh, but a cheaper version than the ones in your photo.
Who makes Martin open gear tuners?
BTW, I think 12:1 is the perfect ratio for guitar tuners. I think it is the smooth feel and lack of backlash, which has very little to do with the ratio. Martin branded open tuners are made by Gotoh, but they are not the same quality as the Gotoh branded ones.
