My uke has a tie block at the bridge where you wrap the strings like you would on a classical guitar to tie them on.
I've seen others that use a "peg" similar to how a steel string acoustic guitar might be, but steel strings usually have a little washer attached to the bottom of the string end and you stick the peg in to keep them in place and the washer keeps them from sliding out.
What do you do on a peg-end uke if you use standard nylon strings? Do you just tie a knot in the end of them in lieu of a washer?
I realise this is a dumb question, but I wasn't sure what terms to even search on for an answer.
Thanks.
