They’re called Scruggs tuners. They’re not normal banjo tuners, you would still need to order them specially for your banjo. They’re named after the father of bluegrass banjo, Earl Scruggs because he used them in some famous songs like flint hill special. You basically set them to stop at the specific note you want and you can flick them back and forth easily.

The first generation of these tuners have been around since around 1957. Earl Scruggs had a hand in the design. In 1961, Bill Keith improved it and the Scruggs-Keith tuner was born. Waylon Jennings was using the tuner to drop D his Tele on the fly, since the early 70’s. Great product

I can see how people might be able to tune up quickly but I don't think you can tune down as precisely. In my experience the strings sometimes stick a bit and won't drop into it's true pitch until you bend the string a little to unstick it. Hence the best practice advice that you should always tune up to pitch.

It is too funny you’re playing Passionflower cuz that’s exactly what I was listening to before I started getting back into finger style and found your video. Crazy.

Ah, yes, that original video puzzled me, especially the accuracy, But now I get it, these are like the Hipshot D-tuners for bass. I got one for my bass many years ago (also not cheap!). With one flick of a switch with the left thumb, it drops the lower E string to what is dialed in (Usually the D below), allowing to go from regular tuning to dropped D in a split second and very accurately. Clever stuff!

I'm not sure if there are hipshot tuners for acoustic, but that is another possibility. Don't forget about the b-bender contraption use in older electrics (maybe still in some newer ones, I don't know.) I do like the Keith-scruggs tuners option for achieving fast alternate tunings. Perhaps too costly, but it would be fun.

thank you

so this is what pro guitarists sound like, finally. thanks!

Worth every pfennig.

The Reason they are in sets of two is because they were invited for playing certain songs on banjo like flint hill special or foggy mountain chimes. the kind he used are called Keith tuners there’s also cheeta-keys but the are designed to fit around a banjo head stock they squeeze the strings and when you turn the key the part squeezing the sting loosens changing the banjos tuning from G to D.

Mattias feels like a really kind yet cool older brother

It's worth noting that while this kind of tuning peg with stops for set pitch change has existed for about 60 years, banjo players used to do this with regular tuning pegs prior to their invention so if you look up old videos of Earl Scruggs playing Flint Hill Special for example, he's doing this with regular tuners. But it was difficult to do so that's why the mechanical solution came about. It's still much easier to do this with banjo tuners than guitar tuners though because guitar tuners typically have a gear ratio of like 12:1 or 16:1 or whatever whereas as banjos have a ratio of 4:1 so with a guitar it takes a very substantial turn to change a string one step but with a banjo it takes significantly less motion so it's fairly reasonable to do.

It's good to see you again. I picked up the guitar inspired by your 7000hrs of guitar video. Keep posting 😁

Yes, and the early addition of his instruction book shows how to make them. The are basically cams, while Keith pegs rely on differeing rotary mechanisms inside the tuners themselves. Earl switched to Keith pegs pretty much as soon as the came out. Before he made the cams, Earl did indeed retune by ear on songs like Flint Hill Special. According to Tony Trischka there is a live early (haha) recoding in which he misses the tuning and aviods the affected string for the rest of his break. Chet used them on guitar a bit. Adrian Legg uses them still, I think.

What baton rouge guitar model is this? Looks amazing!

nice, saw something simillar on bass guitar, but not like that, something like trigger system that push and pull

You could use the tuners as a makeshift b-bender!

i didnt watch the original video so i didnt know about this until know (i honestly dont watch too many acoustic guitar videos), but damn that sounds awesome

Thanks that song is epic. When should I play it do you mean?

If I were going to spend that much money I would buy that automatic tuning system. It's so good you have to tell it not to auto correct the strings if you want to bend them.

I remember when I first found this out, it was like finding out the pole spins. Heartbreaking.

First person to use these Keith tuners on guitar was Chet Atkins (I believe he used 3). I tried it in the 70s but it was completely beyond me until I took up banjo (I just used them to change between open tunings. Adrian Legg does some demonstrations of these techniques, having been told by my housemate, again in the 70s. $250 is a good price for a pair of genuine Keith tuners. Schaller do a version at $75 but they simply are neither as accurate nor as durable as Keiths IMO. The insides of the tuners look like old fashioned watch mechanisms and are extremely delicate (I took one of my Schallers apart after it failed), so both these aspects are very important. Here in the UK the pricing would be a straight £ for $ substitute, or maybe more with carriage and tax.

Those brushed tuners are really nice. Not really into the others.
