Nalo1022 Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Ive been thinking this for a while and i want to know. do you tihnk it woul be possible to make a violin style headstock on a guitar. I was thinking you could use banjo tuners, but i sunno if there are any probelms that might arise form this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTLguitars Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I've had exactly the same thought - to use either geared banjo tuners or maybe try to use the dulimer tuneres Dulcimer tuners from StewMac with 14:1 ratio. I think maybe the 4:1 ratio available for banjo would be difficult to tune..(?). I can't see any reason why this shouldn't work - you have to do some geometrical work to insure correct string pull directions... but why not! The only problem I can come up with must be how to make it wide enough and still keep the elegance of the violin headstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
