saulgoldie Stiff Tuning Keys (5) Stiff Tuning Keys 19 Nov 22

My old Yamaha 12-string has stiff tuning keys. The previous owner said that it had been in a garage for a while. That's probly why I got it for a song. (A song!)

Anyway, I *can* tune it. I mean, inasmuch as a 12-string can *ever* be really tuned. But the keys are very stiff. Is there anything I can do with the keys short of just getting a whole new set?

Or if a new set, which brand should I go with? Grover? Shaller? Another brand?

Thanks for any help.

Saul
