I came across a couple examples on ebay, and since (I think) they haven't been discussed here since 2007 (LINK), I thought I'd start a thread.
My question: Does anyone have an instrument using these unique 'brake cam' tuners in playing condition, and regular use? It's kind of a brilliant idea - except for the expense, intricacy, and the fact that I imagine slacking the strings to bring them 'up' to pitch (and indeed all aspects of real-world tuning) would be nightmarishly difficult. Other than that...
