Before Playing the Instrument

■ About the Bridge

The instrument is shipped from the factory with its

bridge properly set and aligned on the instrument's

top.

After conﬁ rming that the bridge is in proper align-

ment, tune the instrument.

• Four notches in the bridge provide proper spacing

between the strings.

Make sure that each string is set in its correspond-

ing groove as shown in the illustration right.

• Make sure that the side of the bridge facing the tailpiece is standing at a right angle to the top of

the instrument. If the bridge is leaning either direction, place the instrument on a stable surface,

slightly loosen the strings then using both hands, gently adjust the bridge's angle. Make sure that

the strings do not come out of their notches.

* Playing with a poorly aligned bridge can result in poor sound quality, and deformation or

damage to the bridge.

Bad

The side of the bridge facing the tailpiece

should be at a right angle to the body of the

instrument.

■ Tuning

• The strings are tuned to the following pitches;

On the violin, the 1st string is tuned to E, the 2nd string to A, the

3rd string to D, and the 4th string to G.

On the viola, the 1st string is tuned to A, the 2nd string to D, the

3rd string to G, and the 4th string to C.

Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust the pitch of each

string using the tuning pegs or adjuster. When rotating the peg, ap-

ply ﬁ rm pressure towards the head stock.

• After tuning is complete, make sure that the tailpiece side of the

bridge is still properly aligned. If the bridge is leaning in either di-

rection, slightly loosen the strings and carefully re-align the bridge

using both hands.
