manual abstract
First, set up the bridge and then proceed with tuning. As the strings get old, sound quality will gradually decrease, and it will become difficult to tune the instrument. Change the strings as soon as you think they are getting old. Caution • The end of the strings are sharp and can cut fingers. Use caution when changing strings. • When changing or adjusting strings, do not put your face close to the instrument. The string may suddenly break resulting in eye or other unexpected injuries. • The lower side of the bridge supports the 1st string (E), the higher side supports the 4th string (G)/5th string (C). Make sure the bridge is placed properly, then set the bridge in the bridge seat. • Ensure that the bridge stands vertically. If it leans to one side, use both hands to adjust. Make sure that each string passes over the corresponding slits in the bridge.

Strings may come out of their grooves when adjusting the bridge or changing strings. Since the 1st (E) and 4th (G)/5th (C) strings tend to come out of their grooves easily, use your fingers to hold the strings gently in place when tuning the instrument. Also, the 1st (E) string is fitted with a protective tube. Make sure that the tube rests on the bridge. Always make sure that the bridge is standing ver- tically, whether the instrument is being played or stored. (see diagram on page 12) Even if the bridge is standing vertically before tuning, it may tilt during the tuning process. If so, readjust the bridge so it stands vertically. It is very important that the bridge stands vertically. If it leans in either direction it will impair the sound and risk damaging the instrument.

Push in on the tuning peg and rotate to tune. Use a piano, tuning fork, or tuner to tune the instrument. • Finally, use the adjuster to fine tune the strings. 2nd string (A) 1st string (E) 4th string (G) 3rd string (D) 5th string (C) Don’t loosen too much. If the adjuster is too loose, it could pro- duce noise while playing. Caution SV255 • When the instrument is not going to be used for an extended period of time, loosen the strings until the pitch drops a whole tone. • Before using the instrument, make sure that the bridge is positioned vertically. Damage to the bridge and poor sound quality may result if the bridge is not properly positioned. . Winding the Strings (Please refer to this section when changing the strings) 1Before you string the instrument, set the adjuster so that it is in the middle of its adjustment range. (All adjusters) 2Place the ball (on the end of the string) in the notch on the adjust- er. Make sure the ball is properly inserted in the adjuster’s notch. 3After threading the string through the hole in the tuning peg, turn the tuning peg making one wrap on one side of the hole and the remaining wraps on the other side as shown in the diagram on the right.
