Insert the string into the hole on the peg and wind
the string onto the peg.
•Wind the 1st (E) and 2nd (A) strings to the
left of the hole as shown in the illustration on
the right.
•Wind the 3rd (D), 4th (G) and 5th- (C) strings
to the right.
•The string wrapped two or three
times around the peg makes the
most suitable condition for tuning
the violin. Too many or too few wraps
may result in inaccurate tuning or
noise while playing.
Make sure that the strings do not pull on the
bridge causing it to over toward the fingerboard.
Also, make sure that the strings pass over their
corresponding notch in the top of the bridge.
(Make sure that the tailpiece side of the bridge is
standing vertical in relation to the violin body.)
If the 1st (E) string has a protective tube on it,
slide this tube down onto the thicker, ball end of
the string (wound with thread) so it does not cause
noise and remains out of the way.
Caution

Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust
the pitch of each string using the tuning pegs.
