I am a violin student. I've been playing for a year and a half. Those
little "adjustors" are called fine tuners. They help me out a lot, because
it's extremely difficult for me to tune my strings together using only the
pegs, because of the extreme pressure I need to apply to the sides of the
peg box in order to keep my pegs from slipping. I can only use the pegs
when I have the scroll pressed against my face. I hope one day to overcome
this embarassing handicap:)! I'm enjoying this list. Hello Jeff
(TEXASJW)!
