Step 7

Twist the peg in the opposite direction that you did before. If the cello is facing towards you, then twist it away from you.
Make sure that you do not twist too much! Pluck the string while twisting to make sure the string is not too loose or too tight. You don’t want to snap it!
When tightening the peg, make sure that the string is still aligned with the indent on the bridge.
