Precision replacement machine heads for mandolin, mandola and bouzouki

When the tuning machines on your mandolin, mandola or bouzouki no longer hold a stable tune or simply look worn, the GEWA F&S mechanism is the right fix. It replaces the original machine heads on a slotted headstock and brings your instrument back to its best in just a few steps.

Van Gent quality, made in the Netherlands

These tuning machines are manufactured by Dutch specialist Van Gent, a trusted name in fretted-instrument hardware for generations. The nickel-plated finish gives a clean, long-lasting look, while the marbled acrylic buttons add a subtle visual accent to the headstock.
