Is this a Mini M6 Schaller tuner or standard size Schaller M6 tuner with a Mini Schaller size Koa button?

This would look great on a Hog Larrivee

That looks to me like a standard Ping M6 knock off with a fine button on it.  The offset of the screw hole suggests that it is a standard sized one.

The Mini Schaller M-6 has a straight mounting hole, thus that tuner is not a Schaller mini.

It could be a full size Ping,  Schaller style Gotoh, or Schaler.

Looks like a full size Ping tuner to me, as far as I know if it has the Larrivee logo printed on it it is a Ping. Schaller tuners have a "S" printed on the back.

Manufactorers will stamp a name on anything they make as long as your willing to pay for it.

    Looks like a Ping. Hard to find buttons for them, unless custom made? Would look nice. Any more info on them other than a pic? I have some Italian olivewood handmade buttons, but fit Gotoh 510s. If I could find buttons that look like your pic, & that fit Pings, I'm there.
  Good luck finding those buttons though. Just can't seem to be able to find buttons for Pings, esp. exotic ones?
  And Rob is right. The only tuners I've seen with Larrivee on them are Pings. Schallers have the "S", as Larry said. Gotohs say "Gotoh" on them. And so on. Pings. Larrivee has been stamping Pings for years now.

Standard size Ping



Mini Ping, notice mounting hole difference and the worm gear shaft that the button attatches to is shorter (does not protrude as far from the side of the paddle head)

My Mini-pings have a bit longer shaft, (possibly a photo illusion?)  but again the minis have a straight not angled mounting screw.

Mark, you have enough tuners for two guitars there.

And to tune it takes as long as three guitars.   :laughin:

Does these buttons only good for Gotohs and not fit in the Larrivee standard tuners?
