Suspect tuners?
Bought this in June 2025. I have been very happy with the instrument in all respects until earlier this week. On Monday the worm pinion wheel on one D string tuner broke in two with a loud bang, ended up with a gear wheel in two parts. I have never experienced this before, it must be a manufacturing fault, there has been no misuse. Have since discovered that machine heads for OM are hard to find, many outlets assume that mandolin is the same, this is not so, OM machine heads have a different spacing and are heavier. Maybe I've just been unlucky, but it's been a real nuisance, eventually found someone with a bit bin and a replacement post and gear wheel, otherwise I would not be playing tomorrow. A great shame, this is a nice instrument and I would otherwise recommend.
