I took my daughter's violin out of its case to tune it yesterday. The pegs were holding on the G,D and A strings but not on the E. Ended up breaking the e string but at least having to change it was able to put some hiderpaste on the peg and then got all four strings spot on. It is still holding its tune today.
It was a cheap violin supplied by a respected luthier so makes quite a nice sound and I thought I might be able to get a scale out of it. Failed miserably because my middle finger (numbered 2 I believe in the violin world but 3 on piano) lands too short so the note is very flat. Can anyone advise if the remedy is just a matter of practise or perhaps posture, the latter being a subject discussed in the woodwind section.
