Help. I have Tanglewood Concert ukulele, and a few weeks ago, my son accidentaly, broke one of the strings. I took the string off, and waited, until I could get some more. I've now got some, but when I went replace the strings, one of the parts, that holds the tuning peg, in place, is missing. No one knows where it is, so it may have got thrown out, not knowing what it is. My question/s are, what is this part called, and can I buy just that part. I can't re-string my uke, without.

You may need to buy one peg set to get the bit you need.
I will have a look at my uke tomorrow and do a few more searches. I'm guessing you're not a member of the uke forum or have a local guitar repair person.

At a guess doing accurate measurements of everything you've got left or find direct replacements from Tanglewood, or alternative supplier.
The only thing I can suggest is doing a search for the exact pegs for your ukulele make and model, hopefully that would bring up results.
