How to install correctly the string in the peg.
(don't do this with wound strings!)
This is the most efficient way to stop the string in the peg. Try always to be as tidy as possible, as overlapped string could result in breaking the back of the pegbox if there is no enough space behind the peg. The back of the pegbox could be as thin as 1mm, you cannot know, but breaking it could be very easy... So, don't do this even with very thick strings, like the fourth pure gut: it doesn't need this, it will not slip anyway.
