E string on my violin won't stay in tune...?

First. The fine tuners work both ways. If you only tighten it, you will run out it's use. Unscrew it as far as you can with out taking it out. Slipping pegs Take the string off the peg and remove it. Take chalk and rub it over the part of the peg which fits into the peg box. Put the peg back in and put the string into the hole in the peg. Wrap the string by turning the peg. As you turn the peg guide the string back and forth across the shaft of the peg. Make sure that when you finish it is coming off the peg at the side of the peg box near the handle of the peg. This will help pull the peg into the hole and with the help of the chalk, it should seat firmly.

Are you pushing it in as you turn? If you are and it still slips, try rubbing some chalk on the peg (take the string off, take the peg out and rub chalk on the part of the peg that touches the peg box). If that doesn't help, take it to a shop and have them look at it. It may need to be fitted better. Kab is right, fine tuners work both ways. There's no point in using it if you're that far off. The tuners are only good when you've gotten it almost in tune with the peg.

The only thing that i could think of is that maybe your strings are old and worn out, but you said its new, so I don't know. I would just go buy a new string, and talk to someone at a music store. Or maybe something its just the peg that needs fixing...

I recommend you unscrew you fine tuner a great deal first. For strings like that, are you pushing the peg in as you tune? I sometimes have the same problem, but it should stay if it's pushed in.

When you tune, you usually use the fine tuners. But if you are tuning with the E string peg, you need to be careful. If you have a electrical tuner (for when you want the string to be in tune perfectly), put it on the bridge of the violin (make sure the tuner is on). Loosen the E string by the peg completely but don't take it off where it was. Begin to tighten the E string peg slowly while gently pushing in to the violin. Stop when the E string is in tune. If you mess up, restart again by loosening the E string by the peg completely and so on.

For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/awxIN Yes. If you don't play it often the strings can slip out of tune. Also, drastic changes in temperature can make strings slip in and out. As you push in the peg, place your other hand on the side of the violin to add counter pressure. That's all I can think of, besides that I'd take it to a shop.
