QuestionWhy do my pegs not want to stay in place when trying to tighten the strings? I get the sound I want, let go of the peg, and then it turns back and loosens the string again.Community AnswerTry pushing the peg inward as you tighten the string. You can also use what is called "Hill peg compound," which can help in preventing slipping pegs.

QuestionMy mom broke my violin and she isn't trying to put the strings on. How do I do it?Community AnswerIf you are not an expert or are unsure how, it is strongly recommended that you bring it to a violin shop where the staff will know how to place the strings correctly and properly for you. Or you could bring it to your violin teacher/instructor. Why? Because the strings are very delicate and if not placed properly may disrupt your playing or even your violin. If you want to know how to do it yourself, ask the staff at the violin shop or your teacher to demonstrate it to you step by step.
