■ Tuning and Changing the Strings

The SILENT Cello™ is shipped from the factory with the

bridge unfitted. 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.

• 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 (A), the higher

side supports the 4th string (C). Make sure the bridge is placed

properly, then set the bridge in the bridge seat. The side of the bridge

with the logo imprint should face the tailpiece.

• 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.

Make sure that the strings are resting in their

appropriate grooves in the bridge when playing

Caution

the instrument.

Strings may come out of their grooves when adjusting the bridge

or changing strings. Since the first (A) and fourth (C) strings tend

to come out of their grooves easily, use your fingers to hold the

strings gently in place when tuning the instrument.

Always make sure that the bridge is standing vertically,

whether the instrument is being played or stored.

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.

• The strings are tuned to the following pitches. 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. When rotating the peg, apply firm pressure

towards the head stock.

• Finally, use the adjuster to fine tune the strings.
