"William
Tarr", a Manchester maker of the 19th. century. To me one of the most
diverse of the English makers, with more than four hundred double basses
to his name and hundreds more made by many makers who worked for him. Yet
with all these double basses he also made violins, violas, cellos and
these machine heads. At least these are a close copy of what he draw up as
a design. These, like the "Bakers" are a beautiful example of
the classic English design, and just suit any instrument. Though they come
with a screw and washer, they can be fitted without going through the peg
box. The fitting of the worm and thumb screw will hold the cog in place.
Very low gearing which gives very fine tuning.
