The string was wrapped too close to the end of the peg, so the peg couldn't push in very well, and couldn't stay. I'm very happy to have that figured out, and now I can play quite a lot. I have almost worked through the first beginner's instruction book that my daughter used for her first year. She is impressed that I am learning so fast. My left arm gets so tired though.

So, how are you coming along with practicing for your exam? Still feeling okay about it?
