Cheat-A-Keys are very popular d-tuners amongst banjo players due to their rugged durability and smooth operation. They can be easily installed with no modification to your instrument, and allow for that very cool string bend sound as popularized by the great Earl Scruggs!

I'm in Chicago and need a banjo teacher-bluegrass style please

[@rexabillion]

I have installed cheat a keys to my deering picking earl but the banjo seems to go out of tune every time i use them. Any thoughts on how to fix this guys? Thanks

[@1flat1sharp47]

Is that how that effect is achieved in a song? I thought they just used the regular tuners and had a really good ear and sense of how far to tune.

[@pigeon5700]

I mean you could do that as well but tis very difficult plus some tuners you have to turn more then 360 degrees to tune down so it is impossible to do fast enough

Any suggestion to protect the face of the headstock? Is it metal against wood? I am little worried about scratching the inlay on my headstock.

[@LukeLBluegrass]

It is, but the metal surface is very flat and smooth. I've never had a set scratch a banjo.
