    Are you referring to a tuning peg? If so, then...

    "A tuning peg is used to hold a string in the pegbox of a stringed instrument. It may be made of ebony, rosewood, boxwood or other material. Some tuning pegs are ornamented with shell, metal, or plastic inlays, beads (pips) or rings.

    By turning the peg, one winds/unwinds the string, making it tighter/looser. This affects the pitch produced when the string is sounded, thereby tuning it."
