    I wanted to tune an old violin, and I wasn’t sure how much pressure I could put on each string before it would break. The visual demonstration really helped, and now it’s fully tuned!

    I know how to tune, but my G string went down in pitch A LOT because I didn’t play it for a week and it was in a colder environment where I had it, and I am terrified of raising it up to G again because I am scared of breaking a string while tightening the string to get it back into tune again.

      G string is very resilient so Even if you would go a whole step above the g it would still be fine.

    I did violin in middle school for 3 years.
    After the second year, my first teacher left and we got a new one.
    My second teacher didn't bother teaching us the pegs at all and hated waiting on us to tune and just did it for us.
    She told us "you'll learn how to tune better in highschool."
    I moved before I went to the highschool and my new highschool didn't have an orchestra
    Ive been sitting here for two fucking hours and I still can't tune my fucking violin. I'm getting so ready to just throw it away and never play again. It's been out of tune for two fucking years and I just want to play. I'm fucking over it. I can't tune it.

    I'm scared of moving the pegs.I feel like the strings would snap if I go higher.

    i know this was two years ago, but i'm a beginner violinist and all the Lisle shops near me are closed for the next two days and i really need to learn this one song. if you see this, could you help me out? my D string is super loose and when i try to tighten it it just unrolls, even when i press the peg back in.

    • @theviolintech7632

      Hi, there are two things you can try. One is to wind the string very close to the peg wall so that last couple of turns the string starts to wedge itself between the wall and the coiled string. The other is to put some of the rosin dust on the peg. It will make it a bit sticky and therefore would prevent slipping. I hope this helps, good luck!

      Do you know which string broke? Sometimes it’s easy to mix them up and if you try to tune the wrong string to high it’ll snap.

    So I loosened the A string and tried to tighten it back but it’s still loosened and it’s not playable at all and I can’t even move the pegs

      Hi, do you mean that the peg is stuck or is that the tip of your string fell out of the hole?

    Every time I move my peg it keeps going back down what should I do?

    • @petert1595
      @petert1595 Год назад

      You tighten the peg, I think. You have tho push the peg in the slot because of its conical shape to tighten it.

    • @theviolintech7632
      @theviolintech7632  2 года назад +1

      Hi, sounds to me that real solution for that is to go to a violin shop to have the pegs professionally refitted. Other cheap option is to put a peg paste on. You can get that in music stores or online.

      Completely agree. I also like to recommend a geared pegs but that’s a bit expensive.
