Brilliant! I am really enjoying the unconventional materials used in making this. It's nice and economical, and looks neat. I will have to try something similar at some point, I'm glad I stumbled upon this in my search for tuning alternatives.
Amazing how you guys still use 'penny' which must go back to when the English were running the thirteen colonies. Tuners are ingenious - it's difficult to imagine a time when there was no music store in town - no internet - no TV - no radio - no record players - no money and you wanted pick some tunes.
I would be really pleased if you have time to do a video for your u tube site of how to make this. system as you seem really good at it.if you could mention nelliYOM guitars and that it is patent applied for I would be honoured.thanks.
Interesting experiment. Good use of simple machine technology. But, to be honest, old school friction pegs are much simpler and if done correctly, are just as effective as tuning machines. And you don’t need metal working tools or a welder. Just the correct reamer and the ability to carve pegs precisely. Violins and some banjos are still made like that. I built a few pretty good pickups but I will still buy them because they are far more work than they are worth.
can you please tell how a tuning is set to default or standard tuning... for example in a guitar EADGBe is standard if you change the strings will make noise etc... so how do you do exactly set a tuning to a perfect frequency... harf to explain what i think,i hope you get it
@@ClaytonDarwin thanks for the quick answer. Well if it's solder I can do it. I do a lot of soldering for electronic. I surprised that you can have any kind of torque on those penny. The screw slot most help. Thanks a lot for the inspiration. I had a similar idea in mind for a long time and it's nice to see that it works just fine.
That banjo matches someone who must now eat with their hands 🤪🤣😭😂😅 Really it is a Kool looking something. Also my old CJ5 was camo when I got it. I had a feller stencil out BR-549 on both sides of the hood for me. Only the older folks understand. Anyone under 30 thinks it is an ex military issue Jeep.
Those tuners are out of this world... really Impressive
Essentially you've created a portuguese guitar-style tuners. Well done
The ingenuity is mind blowing,great job sir
Those are so sweet! Awesome mix of grace and utility gives it so much character.
Oh ! I love these tuners so much ! Beautiful outside-the-box thinking, bravo !
Really great job! How inspiring for my future travel guitar! 👏👏👏
Hahahahahaha... i thought i was the only person left alive who uses BR549 in conversation or text. Thank you for video and giggle
Utterly fabulous!
Very imaginative!!!
i really like this tuner concept, thanks for sharing! planning to try something similar on an instrument i'm making.

Dan Halfpenny - Glad you like them. I hope yours turn out well. I need to make another banjo myself.
This is so cool! I'm totally trying this.
Very impressive stuff 👏👍
That was Really Awesome 👌👏
This is a brilliant video God bless you for sharing
This is genius! Great work.
George Patterson - Thanks.
Very nice and well thought out
Do-It-Yourself Preston watch-key tuners!
I'm impressed by your ingenuity.
Claude - Thanks.
Great tuners.

The tuners are really interesting DIY engineering.
@@ClaytonDarwin Thanks!
Clayton, that's glorious!
Thank you, Fred.
Pretty cool concept! This would be great for a cigar box style instrument too! Thanks for sharing.
Philip Legare Stokes - Thanks. If you make one, be sure to post a video. I'd like to see it.
I gotta steal a spoon out of the drawer.. I love this
So helpful!
Fantastic...
👍
Love it!
Very clever. I always knew there was a way to incorporate a fork.Great job.
+seller559 It has a fork-and-a-spoon, cow-flew-over-the-moon theme.
hahaha...thats awesome.
Well done
When you use 100 % of your brain !!!
Creative!
That's cool
this the fella i want wit me when the apoclypse comes😄top notch thinking👌😁
Awesome
When you have a powerful brain.

Nice

This is about aesthetics, not practicality.
you have a nice and creative perspective sir !!! Do you think this kind of mechanical pegs can be used for nylon strings as well?
Thanks, and probably not. Nylon strings stretch more than these can adjust.
👏👏👏👏👏
This is cool and amazing!! How do you affix the fish hook eyelets if I understand that correctly to the wood?
That bait-holder type fish hook has barbs on the shaft. Just pushed into a small hole and they stay.
@@ClaytonDarwin oh ok.. I know what you are talking about! You just clip the bottom hook off? And the top near the eyelets has barbs too…right?
👍
I'm from BRAZIL
sou Brasileiro
very good
muito bom
recomendo
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
thanks you my friend
Gratifying
Obrigado meu amigo
Gratificante
Would a fork be able to hold guitar string as nut?
I don't know. You'll just have to try it and see if it works.
Forking awesome.
Fork yeah!
will it work on a home made guitar? cuz i'm gonna try it (so many brazilians in here, i'm brazilian to).
edvanio marllon - It will work for anything with steel strings. Nylon strings stretch too much. Send me a picture when you're done.
all right, it's gonna take a while though.
edvanio marllon - Make the tuners first so you can make the head to fit them.
Okey.
I would also like to see the result of your homemade guitar attempt!
can you please tell how a tuning is set to default or standard tuning...
for example in a guitar EADGBe is standard if you change the strings will make noise etc...
so how do you do exactly set a tuning to a perfect frequency...
harf to explain what i think,i hope you get it
It works the same as any tuning machine. If you need to know how those work, there are plenty of useful videos on UA-cam.
It sounds like a middle string ukulele
What kind of welding is that. I've never welded before so i want to research it.
Solder. Not welding
@@ClaytonDarwin thanks for the quick answer. Well if it's solder I can do it. I do a lot of soldering for electronic. I surprised that you can have any kind of torque on those penny. The screw slot most help.
Thanks a lot for the inspiration. I had a similar idea in mind for a long time and it's nice to see that it works just fine.
The slot of the screw handles the torque. The solder just holds the penny in place.
excuse me but will this work on a bass?
You can use the same idea for any steel or steel-core strings (low stretch). For a bass, you will need a bigger version.
and a longer screw
have the tuners held up?
No problems.
in1966 that was the best part
It was a good year for tuners.
That banjo matches someone who must now eat with their hands 🤪🤣😭😂😅
Really it is a Kool looking something.
Also my old CJ5 was camo when I got it. I had a feller stencil out BR-549 on both sides of the hood for me. Only the older folks understand. Anyone under 30 thinks it is an ex military issue Jeep.
I keep telling my kid that a Wrangler isn't the "real" Jeep. To have a real Jeep you need to buy a CJ from Junior Samples.
I still can't see how this works!!!
