Henry and Julius Grossman started what became Grover in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1922 as wholesalers of instrument accessories, and the company only took the Grover name in 1952 after buying out A. D. Grover & Son, an older firm that had already built a reputation for machine heads on fretted instruments and violins. Grover's enclosed Rotomatic tuners, developed not long after, became the reference point for smooth, precise tuning stability and remain the default upgrade path for anyone unhappy with their guitar's stock tuners. The company also owns Trophy Music and still makes the Flutophone, a children's instrument that's sold in the tens of millions. We mostly cover Grover as the hardware fitted to guitars we're reviewing. Here's what we've written.
