Hello
Does anyone know if there are any dedicated mandolin string winders available in the UK please?
cheers

Never seen one. Look for one of the ones which take two sizes of tuner button.

I use one of the old “Dunlop” ones - the end also comes off so you can use it on a powered screwdriver. Primarily intended for guitar, it works well on mandolin but, for some reason, it isn’t big enough to accommodate Grover Rotomatic tuners.

A little superglue and a saw and you can make your own. I've been using this one for decades.

OMG. I love it. A simple straight forward solution. I never thought of it.

Seriously, It should have been obvious. Good on you.

Don't know, if Nicolo Alessi, maker of fine machine heads in Italy, is still offering his string winder. I'm a satisfied customer. Check out this thread: https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/t...-string-winder
