The Grover 106 Series Original Locking Rotomatic Tuning Machines give you the ease of use provided by a standard tuner and the positive locking of their internal cam post. Simply insert the string through the string hole, pull to tension by hand and begin tuning. As you start to tune, only the locking cam in the string post turns. Once the string is locked, the string post begins to turn allowing you to bring the string to pitch. In less then one revolution of the string post, you will be in tune, to stay in tune. Gear ratio is 18:1.
