There are five pegs on a violin: four tuning pegs which are used to tighten the strings and one peg which is known as a sound post which is inside the body of the violin.
The sound post is necessary to transmit vibrations from the strings, which come down through the bridge, from the front to the back of the instrument.

The knob used for pitch adjustment or tuning on the violin is called the "peg".
The first violin made was by Andrea Amati in 1555. There are a few violins of his from that year that would be the actual first violin. A search of "violin Amati 1555" would give you pictures of these instruments.Interestingly, the first instrument in the violin family was not the violin. It was the viola!
Turn the peg to tighten the string to the proper note. If you don't know how to tune ask your teacher. If you don't have a teacher, get one.
You can, but it may not be the most comfortable for you, or it may not fit in a 3/4 case.

Go to YouTube, and type in "Kirby PLays the violin (Oracion)". You would find him playing a violin and in description is the link.

Your music/strings teacher would able to find it for you.:)
By the frog of the bow there is a metal peg. Twist that. If you notice that the stick is getting straighter, turn it the other way.
You would have a lot of better luck if you look up the violin schools, and just found out from there.
Firstly, bent the tip of the string slightly so that it can "hook" or anchor on the peg. Next, place the end of the string into the bottom hole where the fine-tuners are. Turn the peg clockwise, until the note is reached. Make sure that the string is on the bridge, and in its respective positions.
To fix it, you would have to loosen the peg the broken string is on to pull it out. I'm not so sure about the rest, but look for near-by music stores that could help you more.
