Changing the E String on Your Violin

How to Change a Violin String

Did you break a string? Need some pointers on how to quickly change it so you can get back to playing?

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.

Thank you, someone moved my violin or touched it then broke it with out permission, the entire bow and bow hairs and broken and the E string is off

Thank goodness I found this, I was about to panic.

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.

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

[vincentgeorge]

The e string peg is so smooth and slippery what can I do

[septicstache]

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?

Thanks but how do you attach it thought

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

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

[orewalblack]

Thank you so much I can finally fix my strings without my teacher doing it for me 😊

[dradhypexd]

when i turn the peg, the string always come out. How do i fix this?

[edhughes]

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-rwcr]

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

[heythere]

My new e string doesnt have the colored thing at the end

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

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

my e string came off and I am very scared.
