Abstract: A tuning machine for a musical instrument includes a base configured to engage a headstock of the musical instrument, an actuator rotatably connected to the base, a shaft rotatably connected to the base, the shaft providing a first aperture sized to receive a string of the musical instrument, the shaft being connected to the actuator such that actuation of the actuator causes rotation of the shaft about an axis of the shaft, a clamp member movably connected to the shaft and configured to engage the string, and a bias member connected to the clamp member and the shaft to bias the clamp member toward a closed position to engage the string when received by the shaft, where the clamp member and the shaft cooperate to inhibit removal of the string received by the shaft with the clamp member engaging the string.

Abstract: A packaged drum set including a carton having a top wall, a bottom wall, and a plurality of side walls one of which defines a transparent window; and wherein the walls form a chamber retaining a frame assembly which defines a first nest disposed in a lower portion of the chamber and second and third horizontally spaced apart nests disposed in an upper portion of the chamber. At least partially visible through the window are a bass drum disposed in the first nest; a snare drum disposed in the second nest; and a tom drum disposed in the third nest. The window provides a clear impression of the drum set retained within the carton.
