Re: Collings MTO: replacement tuners?
Just as a conclusion note, I never did contact Collings or change tuners. My best beloved gifted me a small squeeze-tin of sewing machine oil, and a drop on each gear led to satisfactory performance. I also invested in Thomastik flatwounds, curious of how much better they can be than the D’Addarios.
As it turns out, they are a lot better. Very happy with all aspects of this mandolin now. I will keep using the Daddarios on my other mandos (I’m not made of money!) but the Collings is sticking with the pricey ones! Thanks again for all the suggestions and information.
