Split-shaft (safety post) Klusons are my favorite tuners, if they're maintained correctly. A little dab of sewing machine oil in the gears can quickly loosen up stiff Klusons. I'm always stabbing myself on sharp string ends sticking out of tuners. Safety posts really reduce the bleeding in my life.
