    Thanks for this video! My e string has been broken for months and I’ve never changed my strings on my own before. Finally got the nerves to try it myself and it was way easier than I expected thanks to this video.

      If all or a lot of the bow hairs are broken, and you hadn’t opened your case in a while, it might be “bow bugs”(carpet beetles).

    Cant seem to get the e string intertwined in the pegs, its always loopy or crisscrossed. What do i do?

    I was tuning mine after taking it on a field trip bus and the string popped out completely 😔

    Do I have to loosen or move the A string out of the way prior to changing my e string? (Is it necessary?) Also, is it better to have a ball end for the fine tuner? My string popped from the loop (the very end!) and I’m worried it could happen again.

    • @ryn92746
      @ryn92746 Рік тому +1

      It is best to keep the other strings on so that the bridge doesn’t fall off, I would change the strings one at a time

    • @peterpriersonsviolins2337
      @peterpriersonsviolins2337  Рік тому +4

      Sorry for the late reply. You don't have to, it might be easier depending on your peg. Ball or loop ends are good, if the problem persists, see a reputable shop.Thanks.

    I have an electric violin, is the replacement the same or different? And can I use "normal" violin strings or are there different ones for electric violins?

    • @peterpriersonsviolins2337
      @peterpriersonsviolins2337  11 місяців тому +1

      The replacement and strings are the same, although players of different styles of music tend to have brands of strings that they prefer for their tonal qualities.

    Do we need a rubber sleeve or something to protect the bridge?

    • @peterpriersonsviolins2337
      @peterpriersonsviolins2337  7 місяців тому

      When we carve bridges we put a small piece of parchment on the e string slot so that the sleeve is unnecessary. We prefer this solution because the sleeves can come off of the bridge and cause a buzzing sound. If you don't have parchment on your bridge you should use the sleeve.

    My new string didn’t have a ball on end so I transferred the old ball over to the new one. Will that work ok?

  • @LucaShephard-rw2cr

    Why is there not a slot in front of my fine tuner to insert a string

      The color doesn’t matter it’s just if you have a string that matters

      Bro my e string is short i dont know if its normal or not but im streseed😭 also i have the same problem with the pegs

    • @peterpriersonsviolins2337
      @peterpriersonsviolins2337  22 дні тому

      The hole in the peg should go all the way through. Make sure that it is all the way through the hole, that will help

    How high can you tune the E past E on a full size violin?

    • @chrismcdonald9120
      @chrismcdonald9120 10 місяців тому +1

      I'm my experience, with how hard it is to tighten the string just to E, you'd be lucky to tune it up a half step

    • @peterpriersonsviolins2337
      @peterpriersonsviolins2337  22 дні тому

      We would suggest that you not tune the E string above pitch because of all the strings it breaks the most easily.

    • @peterpriersonsviolins2337
      @peterpriersonsviolins2337  22 дні тому +1

      You can do this. Just wind the string slowly once you get close to the pitch to avoid tuning too high and breaking the string. Or, if you are near our shop we will change it for you, no charge.

  • @wills4899

    I'd rather take mine to a violin shop rather than replace the string myself to avoid another breakage.

    • @peterpriersonsviolins2337

      That's fair. If you are near us, feel free to drop in. We would be happy to help. There isn't a cost.
