How do you make the tuning pegs on your violin stop being so loose?

For the tuning pegs in the scroll, you can try pushing them in hard while tuning. If that doesn't work - and you are sure that the hole has not become too large or the peg too small for it - then you'll have to find a way to help make it grip its hole better i.e. to increase the friction of the peg in the hole.
A good way is to pull the peg out and rub the bow's rosin block all around the stem of the peg to leave a coating of rosin dust on the surface where peg's stem fits into its hole. Some people recommend using pencil graphite but, as that is more of a lubricant than rosin dust, I have have never found that it works as well as some rosin.

∙ 13y agoIf you are referring to slipping WHILE you are tuning the pegs, there is a simple answer. When tuning, push the pegs inwards towards the peg box while you twist the peg. If you twist the peg but don't push inwards, they are likely to slip back to their original place. If your pegs slip while you are playing or in the case, my only hypothesis is that there is a dysfunction in the peg or the peg box. I would consult a professional if this is happening, as I'm guessing it can be easily fixed. A little slipping every once and a while is fine, that's just how cellos work :) *this was answered by an experienced Middle School cellist*

What is the effect of tension on the pitch of a violin string?
Violin strings are held on a violin with tuning pegs. The pegs are then turned until the strings reach the correction tension. The correct tension is when the strings are in tune. Adding more tension to a string by turning the pegs will increase the pitch and turning the pegs in the opposite direction will lower the pitch. The strings on a violin are tuned to the notes G D A E from lowest to highest.

How do you change pitch on a violen?
There are two ways to change the pitch of the violin: 1. The pegs on the violin can be turned back and forth in order to tune the violin to a specific key. The first string is tuned in G, second - D, third - A, and the fourth - E. Some electric violins come with 5 strings, the fifth coming before G and tuned in the key of C. 2. Below the bridge of the violin rests fine tuning equipment which will make minor adjustments to the pitch.

Can electric violin produce sound without an amp?
It depends on your electric violin. A hollow-body violin with an acoustic pickup (basically, a traditional violin with a microphone built into it) will make sound just like a standard acoustic violin. A solid-body electric violin will make sound without an amp...but unless you're the violin player, you won't hear it.
