Yup. Ain't too tough. If you're really lazy like me, you can buy a string winder so that you can turn the pegs faster and wind up the string. They're like $.75.

i only use a string winder to take them off, and to get the bridge pins off with the little notch at the end of the winder

That's what I originally got it for, but my Tak has no bridge pins. I can't waste those quarters so I have to use it for something.

i've always wrapped(2-3) and then put it through the hole, which seems exactly the same only backwards. i guess i'll try it the other way just to see but it seems to me its the same.
