Grover 6B
Upgraded the stock Grover 2b tuners on my Flea ukulele. The 6B tuners were hard to turn, even after adjusting the screw. The 6B design has a couple of additional washers, which allow them to turn much easier, and hold tuning very well. You still need to adjust the friction via the screw, but they are clearly superior to the Gotoh 6B tuners. Plus, Sweetwater has free shipping,… read more and best-in-class customer service. They even threw in some free candy. Sweet indeed!
Excellent friction tuners
If you prefer friction tuners to geared, these are outstanding. I don't like the look of 'ears' on sopranos and concerts, so I prefer the look of these. The stock Grover 2s on my Flea, Fluke, and Firefly were OK at best. I swapped them out for 6s and am very happy. Only (minor) gripe is that I had to use a file to open the post hole slightly.
Grover tuners
I have had these and they are nowhere near as good as the UPT Gotohs. Kept slipping or alternatively, had to be extremely tight. If you are a serious musician, save yourself the grief and get the good stuff.
