Unless you've put the strings on yourself, don't do this yourself, please: Loosen the string with the head tuner until it's slack enough to slip the end of the string with the metal loop up off the fine tuner. Unscrew and remove the screw used to fine tune the violin. It should be turned counter-clockwise (flat, if you were tuning). Then there is a nut beneath the screw you just removed.- it should be the same size as the screw, just against the top of the tailpiece. Unscrew it also by turning it counter-clockwise. the tuner can be gently removed from the underside of the tailpiece. Repeat.
