Tuning
I would strongly suggest buying an electronic violin tuner until you train your ear to know the strings.
-Turning the peg away from (counter-clockwise) tightens the string and raises the pitch, turning the peg toward you (clockwise) lowers the pitch.
-Never force the pegs into the peg box more than necessary. It will damage the pegs and make them not work properly.
-Fine tuners are good for the beginner, but will give a more metallic sound quality to your instrument. If you can do without them then your fiddle tone and resonance will benefit from it!
Overstretching the strings will damage sound quality and can cause them to break!
However, since I’m sure you’re eager to get started or maybe can’t afford an electric tuner I have listed some online violin tuners.
(Yes, violin and fiddle are the same instrument…it’s all about the style you are playing and basically which word you like better. My “fiddle” was actually sold to me as a “violin.”)
