Ortega 3-Head String Winder & Cutter – OSWC-3H
Ortega 3-Head String Winder & Cutter – OSWC-3H
Available at UKE Republic – your number one ukulele source.
Changing strings shouldn’t feel like a wrestling match.
The Ortega OSWC-3H is a smart little maintenance tool that combines three essentials into one compact setup: a string winder, string cutter, and bridge pin puller. Whether you’re restringing a ukulele, guitar, or bass, this tool keeps the process quicker, cleaner, and far less annoying.
What separates this one from the pile of cheap plastic winders is the build quality. Ortega made the OSWC-3H from hardened Japanese steel, giving it a sturdier feel and long-term durability that holds up to repeated string changes.
The included three interchangeable winding heads let you switch between ukulele, guitar, and bass tuners easily, so you’re not hunting for multiple tools every time you restring something different.
The built-in bridge pin puller is designed with a wider contact surface to help reduce marks or pressure damage around bridge pins, while the precision cutter cleanly handles string trimming without struggling on heavier gauges.
One tool. Less clutter. More playing.
