These string winding tools are essential for stringing up a Portuguese Guitarra. Called an alicate para torcer cordas, it is used to make loops in the ends of the steel strings. The Preston tuners require a very specific length of string, and the scale lengths of guitarras vary, so it is necessary to custom make strings so the loops on each end are just the correct distance apart. Now, string sets come with a loop on one end, but it is still necessary to put a loop on the other end.
These tools will work on any instrument with Preston (or watchkey) tuners, as well as other instruments that require a loop to be put in one end of the string.

This odd little gadget is the solution to the fact that strings for the Guitarra Portuguesa come with only one loop when you need two. The loop it makes is not as tidy as the one made by the string factory, but it's tight enough. Takes some practice.
This is a very good string winder! You can wind a loop into the end a guitar string using pliers and a screwdriver but its a not easy. This tool is defiantly worth it. It works with any guitar string, even wound strings.

I bought this bodhran after I broke my more decorative one while protesting. I’m one of four women who are Drumming for Democracy every week at our local Saturday protest.
The DG-255 I received from Lark in the Morning was easily as beautiful as presented. The padded gig bag is a huge plus as well.
The guitar is a solid and has a bigger, more forward sound than I'd anticipated which suits me just fine. It plays easily, surely even more so after I have a guitar tech get it set up for me.
Nice people, excellent service, quick shipping. Nothing not to like here.
This whistle has a beautiful, warm tone and is very responsive. I have used a variety of whistles (including other Kerry whistles), and this one is my favorite to play. While recording my latest album, I needed a whistle in this key pretty quickly, and Lark in the Morning had this delivered to me within a few days. I highly recommend this instrument, and Lark in the Morning is a fantastic place to purchase from with excellent customer service.
I already play a mountain lap dulcimer, but this one gives the instrument a whole different dimension to playing. Really beautiful craftsmanship. Thus isn’t a toy, but a lovely wooden instrument. Very easy to play!
Multifacsited approach to something fun to do!
