I can tell you that the woman who brought her Moore Bettah uke to my music party was in (and stayed in) better tune than any ukulele player I’ve ever played music with prior to this.

Yes, not cheap but worth every penny. I recently installed them on my violin. The pegheads cost me about $70 and about $80 for the luthier to install. But I am very happy with them. Tuning is very precise and stable.
