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.

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.
