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.
Always change the strings one at a time, even if all strings must be changed.
• 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 sud-
denly break resulting in eye or other unexpected injuries.
Winding the Strings
1
From above the tailpiece, insert the ball end of the string into the hole on the tailpiece then pull on the
string so the ball end fits securely in the slot on the backside of the tailpiece.
2
Extend the opposite end of the string up to the tuning peg and use a wire cutter, etc., to cut the end of the
string off about 10cm past the tuning peg*.
* Three to five wraps around the post with the string should be adequate. Adjust the number of wraps
according to the type of strings you use. Make sure that the string is wound at least three times but be
careful that the string is not wound too many times and becomes heavy.
