Oppps! I accidently posted this under the general mandolin area this is probably where this topic should go.
I just now recieved waverlys for my bouzouki, when I put them on I realized that the gear was above the worm gear on my mandolin waverlys aswell as my bouzouki waverlys.Now however the worm gears are in different directions making for a reversed winding on the bouzouki. Is this something that Stew Mac orders automatically for the A style tuning machines? When I called Stew Mac today they told me that it isnt good to reverse wind them, he mentioned absolutely nothing about waverly making it different on the A styles.
Right at first I thought I put them upside down and looked over at my mando and saw that it was a tuner issue.
The other thing that made me uneasy. I specifically asked the associate at time of purchase if I could retro fit different knobs on these tuners simply due to the fact I wasnt decided on the knobs I liked. They said yes, When I recieved them they didnt have the usual screw type knobs. When informing them they told me they dont offer the screw knobs on the A styles. So is this odd statement is true?
