A device for winding and trimming the strings of a musical instrument is disclosed, the device having an elongated head with an open receptacle on one side and at one end for interengaging the tuning buttons of the instrument. The other end of the head is rotatably attached to an elongated handle which is offset from the long axis of the head on the side opposite to the open receptacle. To wind a string, the receptacle is interengaged with a tuning button on the instrument, and the handle is moved back and forth in a circular path causing the head to turn and rotate the tuning button. A shear is mounted on the end of the handle for trimming the strings. The shear is formed from two relatively moveable blade portions defining planar surfaces which meet in a common plane. Shearing edges, formed by apertures through each blade portion, traverse the common plane upon relative movement of the blade portions to shear a string extending through the plane between the shearing edges.
