Musical instrument string winder

A string winding device for winding and unwinding a string on a peg of a stringed instrument, the string winding device comprising:

• a string winder body having a top end and a bottom end,
• and a slot extending into said string winder body from said bottom end, said slot configured to engage a plurality of differently-shaped musical instrument pegs, said slot having a first section having a first width, a second section having a second width, and a third section having a third width, said first, second, and third widths being different,
• a top surface of said first section having a first curvature, said first curvature extending along a diameter of said string winder body and perpendicular to said first width,
• a second top surface of said third section having a second curvature, said second curvature extending along said diameter of said string winder body and perpendicular to said second width.
