It's the middle of the night here, and I'm hopped up on painkillers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) but I should have checked sorry.

Prodigy Group: Members Posts: 1580 Joined: 17-February 07 Member No.: 9572	i've gone from having 4 fine tuners to having 1, and i'm missing their usefulness (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) though to be fair i should probably learn to get along with the pegs!

Prodigy Group: Members Posts: 1580 Joined: 17-February 07 Member No.: 9572	I have yet to put the A tuner on, i just have one on the E and was gonna put one on the A =/ My violin generally stays well in tune but i haaate tuning with the pegs if i have a concert - they're guaranteed to slip or something and i'll end up spending a million years trying to get it back in tune. Though i don't have slippy pegs, so maybe that's just me being paranoid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I'll shutup now and keep my E fine tuner (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
