How to Fix a Slipping Violin Peg

Introdução

If your violin is not producing the desired tune due to a loose string that will not tighten despite adjustment, use this guide to fix your loose violin peg.

Each string on the violin is attached to a peg that allows you to tune it. If your string is continually loose, then a loose peg is the issue. Rewinding the string completely and administering peg compound ensures the correct position to hold the peg in place in order for your violin to fully function. Using one of these methods over the other can also serve as a solution; however, it is best to do both.
