Performance Plus PW25BK Bag of 25 String Winders - Speedy Crank Style for Electric and Acoustic Guitars, Banjos, Ukuleles, etc… Includes Built in Bridge Pin Remover, Black

Performance Plus string winders are used to speed up the process of changing strings for Electric, Steel Sting Acoustic Guitar, Nylon String Classical Guitar, 12 String Guitars, Banjo, Mandolin, Ukulele, Dulcimer and other instruments with guitar style tuners. The PW1 can assist in both removing and replacing instrument strings on your instrument. Instructions To use a Performance Plus String Winder slip the socket end of the winder (with built in pin pry tool used for acoustic guitars with bridge pins) over the tuning button of your machine head and you rotate the swivel handle in the direction needed to tighten or loosen the string. The Performance Plus String Winder will allow you to take up the majority of the string slack - once it gets fairly tight, remove it and finish fine tuning by hand. Use your fingers to tighten the tuning button until the string is in tune. Tip: After tuning each string, check pitch again as the strings will stretch a bit and require minor adjusting. Caution/Tip: Most string breakage is due to binding at the top nut. Often the string appears to stop responding to tuning so you continue to turn and it eventually the string breaks. To prevent this, assure the string slides freely in the slot of the nut. Rubbing the slot in the nut with the black core of pencil will help, the graphite lubricates the string preventing it from wedging and allows it to move freely. Keep plenty around, including your bag or case. Bag of 25 all black.
