Hi, I have bought some of these guitar tuning pegs to replace my crappy quality geared pegs on the ukulele at the minute.. Issue one is I then found out they were 6-in-a-line type pegs, which isn't a massive problem I suppose as they should still do the job despite looking a bit odd..
The main problem being I have absolutely no idea whatsoever how to use them..
If I screw the top of the peg down almost fully, thread the string tightly through it and then screw the top down.. (Completely random guess on how to use them) when I try and tune it the screw just unscrews itself with the tensioning of the string.
At the minute I am just hand-tightening the screw but I don't want to over-tighten incase it just cuts the string!
I appreciate this is probably a ridiculous question.. but all I am after is a playable uke - despite me lack of the correct equipment and parts! Any advice would be appreciated
