Violin Tuning Pegs

Video Transcript

"So after you've been playing your exercises for a while and getting to know the violin and a really good thing to do even before playing more is to familiarize yourself with tuning. In the beginning you won't be using the pegs so much. Probably, if you're playing on the violin for the first time you're going to have a violin that has four fine tuning pegs here at the bottom. After I started playing for a long time my teachers eventually took off my other fine tuners but on a, on a lot of instruments of a, professional violinist you'll find that they still have this fine tuner right here. In the very beginning you're not really going to be using the pegs to tune too much but you can tune with them a little bit. And as you get even more comfortable with tuning you can learn to tune actually just using the pegs themselves and not using the fine tuners at all. But in the beginning I just wanted to give you a little bit of info on tuning."
