We bought some new pegs for a cello but they came without holes. As a result, it seems impossible to tighten the strings as they keep slipping. But there must be some use for pegs without holes, otherwise why would they sell them that way, right? Did we get taken, or is there some way to get a stringed instrument strung with pegs without holes?

Update: The vendor actually suggested using glue!

Do pegs for stringed instruments require holes?
