Molevion Herschel Guitar Tuning Machine Lubricant is a precision grease for guitar tuners, machine heads and small tuning gear mechanisms. It creates a smooth, stable film that reduces friction between worm gears, gear posts and contact points — giving tuners a more controlled, premium feel.
Key benefits
Smoother tuning feel — reduces friction inside tuning machines for easier, more controlled adjustments
Made for machine heads — worm gears, gear posts, tuning shafts and enclosed or open-back mechanisms
Long-lasting protection — stays in place better than thin oils, protecting small gear teeth from wear
Quieter operation — helps reduce stiffness, grinding feel and noise in dry or ageing tuners
Precision 5ml applicator — controlled use on delicate instrument hardware without mess
