String Twister winder seem tab for setar, Indian Sitar, Tar, Dotar, Tanbur, Shorangiz, Santoor, Qanun, Dulcimer, by maestro Ghanbari Mehr

It works great!

The package arrived without any instructions on how to use it. It is not a kind of a product that you can guess how to use it.After some research I got hold of the instructions on a web-site.

There are a bunch less-popular instruments that require loop-end strings, but it's often hard to find the strings for them in your neighborhood music store. With this device, if you know what gauges you need and what lengths, you can often make your own out of common ball-end strings that you can find locally. In addition to instruments already mentioned in the item's name like the setar and tanbur, you can use this to make your own loop ends for things like the electric saz, the bandura, the hammered dulcimer, and so on. Just cut the ball end off, and use the string twister to make your own sturdy loops!

This is a well and simple designed tool that really comes in handy for the not so advanced Sitar Player. Changing Sitar Strings is basically a once in a year event which means that you get very little experience at making the loops at the end of the Strings. Those who have mastered it make it look like a piece of artwork. This unit does exactly that. Plus it lessens the possibility of the dreaded bloody finger poke.

I am relatively new to Sitar( 2 years) and struggle with Changing Strings. Specially Thin Steel Strings are hard to loop and would take lot of effort and often poked and bloodied my fingers. This Tool is nifty and took away the Effort and time taken for looping. It also makes fine spirals which are strong and neat and look good as well as hold very well. What a creative invention!

I am using it to twist my tanbur wires. This is the most useful accessory and it is easy to use. The wualiry of the item is the one that you want.It delivered to me in short time by seller.It is easy to contact the seller when you purchase an item from sazyar.
