## Description

Changing strings just got a whole lot easier, safer and more FUN! MusicNomad’s patented GRIP Winder has a built in dual bearing design that makes turning the GRIP Winder handle effortless, silent and super fast. Our ergonomic and non-slip grip handle gives you total control and comfort. Our innovative GRIP technology smoothly and silently slips over your tuning pegs for a scratch free & clank free operation compared to traditional plastic peg winders. Our contoured design fits virtually all tuning pegs both big and small. Our narrow profile keeps you from hitting close fitted pegs on 12 string and electric guitars. As an added bonus we have designed a 10mm ballistic nylon hex wrench in the bottom for safely tightening the most popular size (10mm) of tuning machine bushings. It’s perfect for electric and acoustic guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, ukulele and orchestral strings. Using the highest quality materials including a carbon steel shaft. Don’t lose it or loan it, you’ll look forward to the next time you change your strings. That’s MusicNomad quality – raising the bar in equipment care.

Review: The best string winder I've ever owned, by far! - The best string winder I've ever owned, by far! It's everything they say it is. It makes the cheaper, hard plastic winders look like junk. I wish I would have purchased this a long time ago...better late than never!! With the 2 bearings, it turns extremely smooth. The handle is very comfortable on my hand. The soft plastic/rubber that goes over the key tuners, protects from scratching them. It's very fast & smooth...& I prefer this over powered winders any day. I changed my strings a few days ago...& it worked great! I accidentally dropped it (my fault), onto the hard floor & it didn't harm it at all. Very impressed! I'm using this on my pedal steel guitar. Great company! I plan to purchase there string cutter next. I definitely recommend this item...& this company.
Review: Nice manual String Peg Winder! - Fits hand well. Spins free and smooth without the typical wobble others have. "No screw" like the cheap ones have to cause resistance, wobbling, backing out and falling apart or tighten up in the middle of things. A reasonably hard yet soft coating that won't scratch your baby! Designed to work on most peg sizess I've come across big and small. Like others have stated it's pricey, but I think how many of the inferior ones I've purchased over the years and the aggravation they've caused in lost time, general frustration due to poor design, or worse, the damage done when in a hurry with more important things on my mind than worrying about the above. $15?... I'd be happier at the $10 level, but it is what it is and worth it to eliminate the inherent shortcomings others have. As described and hefty enough to feel like something in your hand, but lite enough to not wear you out in the process. No cheap plastic here that I can detect. Seems to be made of good quality materials and hopefully it'll last many years. Very satisfied customer!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it fit mandolins well?**
A: Although the tuners are close together on my Gretsch mandolin, this will work on it quite well when it comes to winding the strings. As it turns there is enough c!earance between the adjacent tuning keys.

**Q: How wide is the tuning peg opening, I,m thinking of using it for double bass tuning pegs?**
A: I'm not sure: I can't visualize the tuning pegs on a double bass. The Grip is wonderful and very flexible, so it might fit. If you're unsure, contact Nomad. They could tell you.

**Q: Is there anything to cut the strings?**
A: This is just a winder. I use a good pair of wire dikes. There is no string cutters built in. Great winder by the way.

**Q: Does it come in any other colors? Hate Blue!**
A: Have only seen it in blue
