Re: Best inexpensive Tenor Banjo
Well, planetary banjo tuners have "gear ratios" that are lower, so a small adjustment jumps the tension more, as Mr. Rankine points out in Post #27.
Not to everyone's taste, if you're used to guitar or mandolin tuners. I have planetaries on some instruments, generally banjos but also my Gibson tenor lute, and they're definitely different.
