Hi Ken Are you sure that you use the pegs right. Normally they stick when you satrt playing, and standard is that you have to take them a little out when starting the day. A litle out, detune and tune up, not pressing the peg to much into the hole. This way it shouldnt be to tight and you should be able to tune without problems. Thats what classical violiists do. My favorite mixture of dope is a bit of vaseline and a bit of very fine pumice powder. To much vaseline, it slips, to much pumice, it sticks. Use your time and add the mixture various times. This way it acts more or less like a film between the peg and the headstock. Give it a try.
