This is a very simple modification that I make to the headstock tuners that I use on my instruments. When I play in public I get asked about them all the time and recently someone mentioned that I should make a video on how to do it.

The process is extremely simple and anybody of any skill level can do it.

Without fail, every musician that sees my tuner attached this way asks the same three questions, I'll answer them for you now:

-Will it work without the clip?
Yes. This type of tuner works through vibrations rather than sound and yes, these vibrations go right through the 3M foam pads just fine. I've had them on my instruments just like this for five years with no problem at all.

-Why would I stick something permanently to my expensive instrument?
True, some might have an issue with sticking something directly to the finish on the back of their headstock, especially if they play a very expensive guitar. Personally I'm totally fine with that, I would never want to be without one of these on my Tres for a single second, so I have no desire or need to ever remove them.

-Can the battery still be changed?
Yes, the battery pulls out of the bottom of the unit and is still easily accessed with this modification.

Here is a link to the tuner:

The music in this video is the great Pancho Amat playing solo circa 2008.

My channel is not monetized, so I do not make money from my videos. If there are ads running on this video it's because the content is copyrighted and the owner of that copyright is receiving the revenue from the video views.

The song at the end of the video is the classic tune ‘El Reloj De Pastora’ played by the incredible ‘Septeto Trio Los Dos’ who have graciously given me permission to use.

I make and sell Tres Cubano Conversion Kits for Baby Taylor Guitars. The kit can be installed in under 30 minutes with no luthier experience required. They cost $200 (USD) with free shipping worldwide.
You supply the Baby Taylor and I send you everything you need to turn it into a great sounding Cuban Tres.
