FRANK'S CRANKS
The first real professional grade string changing tool for luthiers and musicians.
MEDIUM – for Waverly and Grover butter bean tuner buttons, and other smaller sizes, including vintage guitars and many mandolins. SMALL – The dedicated mandolin string crank. It won’t fit guitar buttons, but it’s the one you’ll want especially for the “F” style where headstock and tuner clearance can be an issue. The cranks fit tuner buttons closely, and that's an important part of their utility: 1. Seven-degree offset angle for the handle to mimic wrist action and make the winder track more accurately. 2. Full-length bearing in the handle for stability. 3. Close fit on the tuner button - again, for stability. 4. Soft, resilient head to help avoid scratching sensitive finishes, even if it does make contact. 5. The heft of a real tool because it's made of aluminum, brass, steel and wood. If you'd like more information, please call me at the shop: 650-493-2131

When a size is temporarily sold out, the pull-down choice won't be available in the "Select an Option" box above. That means I'll be working to get some ready as soon as I can.
For shipment outside USA, please contact the shop directly by telephone (650-493-2131) or email to Scott, who can handle the purchase: [email protected]
