The original Kluson® tuning
machines are based on a 12:1 gear
ratio. In the 1990’s following the
acquisition by WD Music Products,
Inc., they were upgraded to a
15:1 gear ratio. Still there was a
demand for an even higher gear
ratio. In response, we have taken
the original stamped steel design
and added an 18:1 gear ratio
for more tuning stability than
ever before. This design bears
the name “Kluson Supreme” in
double row format as the only
visual difference from the original
stamped steel machines.

The Kluson® Supreme series tuning machines have an 18:1 gear
ratio in the traditional stamped steel housing. This particular set
is designed for instruments using a plate mounted 3 + 3 tuning
machine set with an upgraded gear ratio to original machines.
The housing bears the series name “SUPREME” in place of the
original “DELUXE” moniker but this is the only hint to what lies
hidden under the dust cover. Using all vintage specs these tuning
machines will drop right into your instrument using vintage 3 per
plate tuning machines with no modifications. The smooth and
reliable performance of the Supreme Series outshines the rest in
its class. This is a complete set and comes with left and right side
machines with hardware needed for installation.
