#5 is a big one, isn't it? I don't know of a way to do it fast except
to unwind it quicker. :) Sometimes holding it with a pliers helps to
keep the string stationary while you unwind the excess (Use the pliers
above the place where it will break off.)<br>
<br>
On the ones with the smaller copper winding, I hold the replacement
string loosely in the left hand, unwind 3-4 inches of the winding, then
it's pretty quick unwinding by pulling with the right hand. (The string
in the left hand rotates as the winding comes off - that's why you hold
it loosely.)<br>

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Does anyone have an
easy/quick way to remove copper winding
from universal bass strings? I’m practicing on an old spinet here
at the house and while I did cut some of the string off (winding and
core), I
still had to work for quite a while to get down to where I needed to be
with
the winding. (I was working with a #5 string.) Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
