To remove the string from the scroll peg of the violin, you should pull the loosened string out of the hole located in the peg. Be gentile in pulling. If the string does not release by easily pulling, you should rotate the peg until the string is uncoiled completely.

After removing each string from the scroll peg, you should remove the ball end of the string from the fine tuners. To do this, slide the ball end of the string out of the slot it sits in. This step can sometimes happen automatically once the scroll peg end of the string is removed.

It is important to note that during this step, your bridge will fall out of position. Do not worry, as the bridge is not attached to the violin. It will be important for you to reposition the bridge in a following step, so keep it close by.
