MK-2 "Wallmo"
This
machine is named after a Swedish maker and dealer, "Michael
Wallmo". Like MK-1 "Hart" machines, MK-2 "Wallmo"
was developed about twenty years ago. Though this machine comes with a
screw and washer, should you not want them showing you don't have to have
them as like the "Hart" machine the cog is shaped in such a way
that the very action of placing the worm and thumb screw on will hold the
cog in place. As you can also see from one of the pictures this cog can
also be used for five string conversions. The bass that is pictured is and
English instrument made by "Mark Dearlove", and has had these
machines on for at least the last twenty years. They still work well and
will out live us all. Again, very low geared for fine tuning.
