@ketmorco @rachaelspooky that sounds like "oh, replacing a violin string? just put the nub in, the tip in, and do a bit of winding :zerotwo_shrug: "

the above is teeechnically true, but it ignores that neither you nor 99% of the population could do it without an extreme risk of snapping the string ($20~$60) or damaging the bridge ($100~$200), let alone getting the tuning right or knowing what to do if the peg is stuck or of it's too slick :giggle:
(violin strings are the cheapest out of the orchestral strings...gods forbid you snap a cello or bass string :not_like_this: )
