A close up of the Banjo tuners with the two (1 black, 1 gold) stop points. The stop points allow a musician to tune up to a pitch, lock the point and then tune down to a specific pitch and lock its point. Now, in theory, you can gliss back and forth between the two pitches very quickly and dare I say "accurately"? Also shown are the Takamine "HAP" tuners. The hole in the middle of the "HAP" tuner allows the player to "unlock" the cap stan of the tuner and adjust its height up or down and by doing so affect the tension of individual strings. Sad to say but Takamine no longer offers these tuners. I don't think many guitarists realized what they did. Lucky for me I bought up a small "stash" before they were all gone. heeheehee...  Posted by Picasa
