Pegs

egs are use for tune the violin. The four pegs, one for each string, are located between the scroll and the nut. They are inserted into the violin so that they extend through the peg box and just barely come out the other side. Each peg has a peg hole. A string is inserted through the hole, runs through the nut, over the fingerboard, across the bridge and is attached to the tailpiece. If we turn the pegs, we tighten or loosen the strings. The tighter we make a string, the higher the note. The looser we make the string the deeper the note.
