Assignment 20- Harrison Inocencio

               I have been playing the violin for nine years now, and I felt it was only appropriate for me to do a "how to" on changing a broken string on a violin, just in case years from now you ever encounter a life or death situation in which you need to know how to do this. First you need to remove the broken string or strings by turning the peg associated to that string at the top of the instrument in the direction opposite to its tightening. (This may vary between clockwise or counterclockwise depending on how it was originally tightened.) Remember if removing multiple strings to only remove one at a time in order to avoid loosening the bridge. After the peg and string have been sufficiently loosened, remove the string simply by giving it a gently tug. Make sure to unhook the bottom ball bearing of the string by first pulling the bearing towards you and then outwards. Insert the new string bearing at the bottom by pushing inward and then pulling away from yourself to lock in place. After, insert the open end of the string into the small hole in its peg, and the turning counterclockwise, away from yourself, until tightened. Make sure that the string is tucked in its slot on the bridge as well as the fingerboard and then your done!
