Regular price $3.63

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Replacement String Tuning Mechanisms, Black, Non-Inline (L/R)

  • Black Settings
  • Real Brass Drive Gears
  • Knob colors vary from white to light grayish Pearloid, depending on the batch. 
  • Left or Right Hands, Non-Inline

NOTE: Specify if these tuning mechanisms are for a Kovac Paraguayan Harp, Specialty Harp, or ParaHarp. Left & Right-Hand tuners are different on different harp models.

Unlike many other economical tuners in this price range, our tuners don't use foreign powdered iron drive gears, which break down or strip out quickly; very often right out of the new packaging!

Instead, our Tuners use strong brass, which will only break down slowly, even with a lot of string pressure & use. We've stringently tested these string tuners for 4 to 5 months before using them on our harps. We have gotten marvelous results from them with not even one failure!

Installation trick: If you need a Right Hand Tuning Mechanism and all you have are Left-Hand units available, take an L.H. Mechanism apart & reverse the worm gear/knob & put it on the inverted back plate (setting) & reassemble it. You now have a Right-Hand unit!

REMINDER: String Tuning Mechanisms may have a back-order delay in shipping of approximately one or two weeks due to their custom-made nature.

If you need several different products to purchase & need some sooner than later, we suggest you make two orders so the rest of the parts ship right away & arrive earlier than the tuners (& wrapped bass strings, which also delay ship).

The pictures show a sample of the style. 

We are in partnership with Shopify's web hosting and as a result, they provide us with discounted shipping and insurance which large savings we pass directly onto you.

    • It is less expensive for you if we add shipping separately for each complete order instead of hiding it within increased prices for each & every one of our products while making the bogus claim you are getting "free" shipping & handling. No Carrier ships for free!
      • Please, be aware Black Friday, Christmas Season, weather-related emergencies & various man-made disasters often delay deliveries; often without notice to us or you. JK Harps accept no liability for such delays that are always beyond our control.

        • Pre-built NEW harps are available for local pickup (as above), or can be shipped to your Zip Code within the Continental USA only. 
        • Contact us first to obtain a shipping estimate for shipping to your Zip Code. 
        • After you purchase your new harp online (if to be shipped) you will be given a second link via email or text message so you can pay for the Shipping Fee for your new harp. (Your harp will not ship until after the Shipping Fee is paid.)

        • See the harp's description & shipping directions for any further details.

        DAMAGE to SHIPMENT

        • You must check your delivery for any damage or loss immediately upon its arrival in the unlikely event of any shipping issues with the product caused by the 3rd party, the delivery carrier.
        • Take pictures, if possible, and notify the Carrier immediately of any damages to or missing order(s). (Within 24 hours or less.) John Kovac Harps by Davy C (David J Clark, Agent) will not be held responsible for damage to or losses of orders done while in transit. Claims will be made to the shipping carrier immediately in such cases. (But, inform us also to keep us in the loop if anything might be done on our end.)
        • If you fail to notify the carrier in a timely manner and the claim gets rejected, you may forfeit your right to redress with the shipping carrier.
        • For clarification, but not in all cases, once you make a claim with your delivering shipment carrier, and they approve your claim & finally pay your for your loss or damages, then you will forward us that payment. Once cleared with our financial institution, then we will immediately ship out to you a replacement order(s).
