Useful tool
A must have for people that have to play D-tuned (pun intended) on a regular basis. To first setup both tunings can be a bit long, but once set, it won't move.
Note that the way it works you actually chose a tone difference for both tunings, not an absolute note, meaning that you can set it to range anywhere from a half step down to two full steps or maybe more. EG. you can set it to drop from say E to D#, D, C# or even C if your string gauge allows it.
I've been using it for more than a year now on my main bass and I'm more than happy with this product. Besides its practicality it alleviates the strain on the E string that a non stop tuning from E to D brings.
The only downside that comes to mind is that the diameter of the pot where the string is coiled onto is a bit big, so the main tuning key itself is quite sensitive, sometimes a bit too much for my taste. But thanks to a great build quality the tuning doesn't move all that much anyway.

Facile à monter et efficace
Montage très simple en remplacement d'une mécanique standard. Le réglage est facile et stable. On passe rapidement d'un accordage standard à un drop et vice-versa.
Un inconvénient tout de même : l'instrument ne peut plus être suspendu par la tête car cela forcerait sur la mécanique.

Très pratique et bonne qualité
Gadget dont on a du mal à se passer après après en avoir pris l'habitude. En concert c'est très pratique quand on doit passer rapidement d'un morceau avec accordage normal à un morceau en drop D et vice-versa. La vis à ressort permet un accordage précis de la position en ré par rapport au mi, une fois que c'est fait, on n'y touche plus, il suffit juste d'accorder le mi, quand on bascule le levier, le ré est juste aussi.
