Hi Everyone,

Could anyone point me in the direction of somewhere to get metal tuning wrenches in the UK? There are some on Ebay, but the shipping from the US is a lot. I'm sure I've bought some before but I can't remember where from, and I play a keyless guitar, so I really don't want to be without at least one and a spare!

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben, not metal but I just ordered one of these 3D printed ones from a supplier in Bath. Hoping it’s slightly larger gauge than the last metal one I ordered which was useless. When it arrives I’ll report back. Very reasonably priced on the face of it.

Thanks - I have actually got one of those, but it didn't make it through a string change before it wore out on the inside and stopped working - the caveat being that it's a string change on a keyless, slightly grumpy, old Williams U12, so it got a lot of use on the string change! Might have to bite the bullet and see if I can get a couple shipped from the US.

Actually, Amazon have them - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cintrio-Pedal- ... B09Q2VF429

I can't get in my shed for them how many do you want?
Buy two and get a free set of rubber boots for you guitar......

Take your pic! also available in Black Anodised. Alloy or Brass and one plated in 24ct gold if that floats your boat! I'll take a pic of that tomorrow and add it!
The regular ones are £15 but they are hand made ( on a lathe!! )

Pic of the Black Anodised ones as promised.
The 24ct Plated version for the steel player who has everything! The finish on this will last its life time! .... P.O.A.
Also Bar and Pick pouches hand made in Morocco from lamb skin (blue,black,brown,tan) I found a chap on holiday last year and he made them while I was there.
They are £4.00 each

They look great! I don't think I'll go for the gold, as I'd almost certainly lose it on my first gig with it, but I'll definitely take one of your standard ones! I'll send you a message, thanks!

My 3D printed one arrived, it seems ok as a spare, but Ben’s cautionary tale noted. I’ll order one of Bob’s!
