Risa Stick/ Solid - Change tuner buttons?

[Kent Kurt]

Hi,

New Risa Stick/Solid owner here.
Has anyone changed the buttons (only) on the tuners?
Nothing wrong with them technically, I just feel that the finishing and material doesn't match the rest of the instrument. It would be great of I could just unscrew them and swap them out.

Yes I have - in my case I had the crap luck of having one of the buttons break and had to wait for Risa to send me a replacement from Germany.

While I waited, I ordered a generic button (black ones) to install in its place.
However, it is a bit difficult to find one with the exact dimensions and hole diameter. On the generic ones I found, I had to file away 1-2mm of internal plastic to get it to fit.

I've sold that one off (after reinstalling the original tuners as supplied by Risa), but I'll see if I have a photo somewhere.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I couldn't find any photos, but I had a black n white thing happening (B-W-B-W) which looked pretty cool.

On the topic itself, the tuners on the Risa function no differently to other ukuleles. It's just located in a funny place that's all.
