I think I am going to change the tuning Keys on my P03R. The stock mini keys seem to be, I don't know, just a tad sloppy perhaps is the best way to put it. Any way I have come to like the full size Larrivee Ping tuners over time on my other Larrivees, although somewhat reluctantly. I do like the clean look of the stock tuners with the standard chrome buttons. I am looking at the Gotoh mini keys as shown on the site below. Can any body give me some feedback. Are these mini keys a good upgrade. Are they a drop in replacement?
Thanks http://www.allparts.com/Gotoh-3x3-Chrome-Mini-Keys-Chrome-p/tk-7762-010.htm

Can I jump on that bandwagon and ask what type of tuners have
people switched to on the D-03r? Grover, Gotoh's, etc...? :wave
Here are som3 pics of my Gotoh black chrome 510's on my L-03W.

These were a drop in replacement from Stewmac.com.
They are very precise and seem to stay in tune very well.
Go for it! :beer
Thank you Happyman! Anyone else have preferences for the D-03r?
:wave

The mini and full size have different angles. Here is a sticky on Gotoh right here on the tech child board. http://www.larriveeforum.com/smf/index.php?topic=16491.0
Thanks for the sticky Michael, very informative. But getting back to my original question ... are the Gotoh mini Keys on the AllParts web page that I listed a fully drop in replacement on the P-03 ( I suppose they are the same keys on the 12 strings and some of the Forum guitars as well)? It looks like they are a drop in replacement from the diagrams but has anyone on the Forum used them? Is the quality such that the modification is worth while? :?
Thanks

I used the 360"s on my 12 string for a faster ratio and they were a drop in for the ebony mini's that came on it. I also went with 510's on my DV09 with some custom made tortoise, again straight drop in, just check the angle on the anchor arm, or call Scott @ Domo international (see the same stickey).

Michael,
nice job on the conversions. I just emailed Scott At Domo Int'l.
Thanks
Dave
