Your basic string winder may seem like a simple thing, but anything can be designed better, and this is the best we’ve found. The head of the winder is shaped to fit almost any kind of tuning machine including bass with a snug fit. Those plastic ones that cost a buck? Toss them out and get one of these. The frustration the D'Addario Peg Winder will save you in its functionality is worth the extra price. This winder also features a bridge pin puller that works great on presentation style bridge pins. We’ve seen more than a few bridges marked up by those dollar string winders, and you’re less likely to have such issues with this one.
