Where do the makers of 10 string mandos get their tuners, I wonder? |

Graham Mcdonald in Australia is mandolin guru. He might be able to point you. This is his website: https://www.mcdonaldstrings.com/ Dave |

Perhaps something like Bajo Quinto or Charango tuners? https://www.amazon.ca/Tuners-Charango-M ... B08RDDFHSV |

12 string guitar tuners use the same spacing as mandolin tuners. You could shorten a pair to create 10 string tuners. You could also use 2 sets of "6 in a line" tuners (left and right) and leave out 2 . |

I was going to say tiple tuners but I see Darrel posted what you need. You could also have an asymmetrical head with 6 and 4. |

I took Chris Pile's advice and visited builders sites that use them. Found some. Thanks |
