How to change atrings? Attach new string to the tail piece: First place the ball end of the string in the hole on the tailpiece that corresponds with that string. Some Violin E strings have loop ends to be placed on a fine tuner. If you have a fine tuner that needs a loop end but have an E string that has a ball end it is possible to gently remove the ball leaving the loop so that you can place it on the fine tuner. All tail pieces are different but have the same string holes so it is easy to change strings.
