내년에 있을 마스터 클래스에 참가하기 위해서 책도 사서 공부도 하고...
이런 저런 정보들에 알아보고 있는데요....
그 중의 하나가 튜닝 머신...

일단 로져스는 넘 비싸고...
길버트는 좀 기계스러운 느낌의 외관...
Fustero가 로져스에 비해 저렴한 가격에 악기다운 튜닝 머신의 느낌이나서 자료를
좀 찾아 보았는데 아래의 내용에 보니...

In terms of mechanical quality, Fusteros are the equivalent of Rodgers and Gilbert

즉 기계적인 성능은 Fustero가 로져스나 길버트와 동등한 수준이라는 얘긴데...

실제로 스페인 계열의 기타 제작자들은 Fustero를 많이 사용한 듯 하구요...

고수님들의 의견은 어떠신지 들어보고 싶습니다.

아래는 Fustero Tuning Machine에 대한 글....

Handmade in Spain, these are beautiful works of art. The surface is a deep blue with hand (i.e. unique) hammerings of geometrical arrangements to show a golden surface underneath. Buttons are genuine mother-of-pearl. The plates are the traditional lyre shape. They measure 35mm between roller centers (this is standard, but measure your guitar to be sure they will fit). Mechanically and cosmetically, these are in excellent condition.

This particular style (blue/gold), from a guitar made in 1983, is apparently no longer being made. In terms of mechanical quality, Fusteros are the equivalent of Rodgers and Gilbert - the best you can buy. Cosmetically, they are unique.

Information on Fustero tuning machines is available from Guitar Salon International (http://www.guitarsalon.com):

“Considered to be the industry standard in Spanish tuning machines, Fustero tuners have been and continue to be used by many top Spanish makers. For decades they have been used by Jose Ramirez, Miguel Rodriguez,  Fleta, Manuel Contreras, Felix Manzanero, Antonio Marin Montero, Manuel Reyes, Archangel Fernandez, Marcelino Barbero, and many others.”

From Fernandez Music (http://www.fernandezmusic.com):

“If you have a vintage guitar made in Spain. Fustero should be your choice. Nothing looks more out of place than to have German or American tuners on a fine Spanish classical or flamenco.”

From Luthiers Mercantile International (http://www.lmii.com):

“Hand engraved Fustero tuners are the perfect touch for your traditional Spanish style or Spanish made classical guitar. Made in Spain from the best materials, for decades they have adorned high end instruments built by Fleta, Ramirez, Contreras, Bernabe and many others.”
