• When the instrument is not being used, loosen the strings until the pitch drops a whole tone.
• If the instrument is not going to be used for an extended period of time, loosen the strings even more.
• 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
(Refer to this section when changing the strings.)
1
Before you string the instrument, set all adjusters so that
they are in the middle of their adjustment ranges.
2
Place the ball (on the end of the string) in the notch on the
adjuster. Make sure the ball is properly inserted in the
adjuster's notch.
3
Insert the other end of the string into the hole on the tuning peg. Rotate the tuning peg. As shown in
the illustration, wind the string on the side away from the peg handle once around the peg, then
return the string back overlapping that wind so that the remaining slack is wound gradually toward
the peg handle. 1st (A) and 2nd (D) strings are shown on the left, 3rd (G) and 4th (C) strings on the
right.
