Scroll was quite insistent on pointing out to you that the other function of the peg’s crown is to use your power to engage the principle of leverage.
Leverage applied to what – in order to do what?
The Stem serves as a rounded surface on which the string is wound. The string is threaded through the String Hole. On the first turn, the string overlaps itself as it is wound on the stem. The force of tightening the string on the overlap keeps the string from slipping out of the string hole and lowering the pitch of the string.
To tune the string, you wind and turn the pegs in order to adjust the tension of each individual string. It works like this:
You use the Crown in order to turn the Stem –
in order to loosen or tighten the string –
in order to adjust the pitch of the string.
Guess who wishes to add more information into your Science Mental-file folder? You guessed right again, our humble, (clears throat), droll, Scroll!
