ABSTRACT:
A new type of tuning machine for a stringed musical instrument, such as a guitar, is disclosed. In order to permit the original instrument manufacturer, individual musicians or the local repair service to replace tuning machines without necessitating factory work and machining, a universal tuning machine configuration is utilized which will permit both left-hand and right-hand orientations. In addition, in order to accommodate the existing installation apertures and to avoid cosmetic alterations, a variety of mounting adaptor plates is provided to adapt the new unit to the old apertures.
