Known for having more treble attack and percussive “chop” than oval hole instruments, F-hole mandolins are the first choice in ensemble settings where volume competition can be an issue.

Hello. I need some feedback on what you guys would suggest regarding tuners for my model 20 two point oval hole martin mandolin instrument. The machines that came with the instrument when I purchased it on ebay are almost certainly not for this instrument originally.

I've seen the $200+ ones at StewMac and elsewhere, and I'm not interested in putting out that kind of money (I know if I build it myself I'm going to probably spend that much, but I will have the illusion of saving money and might learn something.)
