Method and Device for Atttaching a Musical Instrument String to a Musical Instrument Tuning Peg

An apparatus for securing a musical instrument string to a musical instrument comprising:

• a clamping mechanism, for securing, independently of a musical instrument tuning peg, the apparatus to a musical instrument string, comprising:
• a tuning peg mating surface;
• and
• a string passageway through the tuning peg mating surface;
• wherein the clamping mechanism affixes the apparatus to the musical instrument string such that when an end of the musical instrument string passes through both the tuning peg and the string passageway and the tuning peg is rotated, the clamping mechanism prevents the end of the musical instrument string that has passed through the tuning peg from passing back through the tuning peg and the tuning peg mating surface is pulled against the tuning peg, creating tension on the string.

A method for securing a musical instrument string to a musical instrument, comprising:

• securing a fixing end of a musical instrument string to a musical instrument;
• inserting a tuning end of the musical instrument string through a tuning peg of the musical instrument;
• positioning a clamping mechanism onto the musical instrument string on a portion of the string as passed through the tuning peg;
• reconfiguring the clamping mechanism from an open position to a closed position such that the clamping mechanism is secured to a fixed position on the musical instrument string;
• and
• rotating the turning peg such that the clamping mechanism is pulled against the tuning peg, preventing the portion of the string as passed through the tuning peg from passing back through the tuning peg and creating tension on the string.
