Testimonials

Gary Brawer, owner of Brawer Repair, one of the most respected guitar repair shops in the world said this about our GRIP Winders:

It's way nicer than anything out there. It's nice and smooth and feels solid gripping the tuners. I haven't found a tuner yet it does not fit

Deering Banjos, The Great American Banjo Company had this to say about our GRIP Winder:

We instantly loved the GRIP Winder the first time we used it on our Banjos. It’s a high quality product! The dual bearing comfort handle was so smooth when winding. Also the versatility of the peg head design allowed it to fit on our smallest and biggest tuners. Thanks for your great design MusicNomad.

Tom Anderson of Tom Anderson Guitars, the well respected high quality Guitar maker, had this to say about the GRIP Winder:

You guys constantly surprise me. Building a better mouse trap doesn't come close to how cool this stuff is. We recently got your new string winders, and I'm still giddy using it, it has bearings inside! The rest of the guys here want the electric screwdriver version, but i'm keeping the manual one because it feels so good to use. I told the guys here that i was going to spend the day changing strings on all my guitars just for fun. Keep the cool stuff comin'.

Patrice Vigier, an innovative and high quality guitar luthier that produces Vigier Guitars had this to say about the GRIP Winder:

It is simply the best I've ever seen............I LOVE it!

Carl Harvey, guitarist for Toots and the Maytals after using our Grip Winder:

Just a note to say how much I love this Grip Winder. It makes changing strings so much easier and smoother. I didn’t think that it would make much of a difference, but it does. Kudos on a well made aid for guitar players and techs. I think I’ll have to get another one so I can always have one in my gig bag.

Roger Sadowsky, who is known for "being one of the industry's master craftsmen" posted this review of our GRIP Winder on his Facebook Page:

This Grip Winder is hands down, the best winder I have ever used. Although the design of the head has been around a long time, the blue rubber coating on the Grip Winder makes all the difference in the world. It reduces the winder head from slipping off the tuner knob, especially on bass tuners like Cloverleaf or Lollypop style. It also does not scratch tuner buttons. The icing on the cake is the the dual bearing handle. It is like power steering. Highly Recommended.

Glen Wolff, Customer Service Manager at Taylor Guitars had this to say about our GRIP Winder's:

I love discovering a great product that we can recommend to our customers. The MusicNomad GRIP Winder is definitely on that list. It's nice to see a reengineered version of a basic tool that works so well it makes you wonder how you ever lived without it. The soft rubber bit gently cradles every tuner button we use on our various models and the handle spins as smooth as a skateboard wheel. It's just great!
And if you want to move really fast, get the GRIP Bit - Peg Winder Attachment for your drill. That's what I use to restring my own guitars.

See what Alex Alcocer, Luthier and Guitar tech for Chris Stapleton had to say about our GRIP Winder:

I have been repairing instruments professionally for 16 years and didn't think anyone could or would make a better winder than I had been using until trying the MusicNomad GRIP winder MN221. It's simply the best one I have ever used. Highly recommend it.
