Attaching the Strap
When using the supplied neck strap with the
WX5, attack the strap hook to the strap ring as shown
in the illustration.
Positioning the Thumb Hook
The thumb hook rests on the right-hand thumb
while playing, supporting and steadying the instru-
ment. For maximum comfort and playability, the
thumb hook can be positioned as required by loos-
ening the screw using a small "plus" screwdriver, as
shown in the illustration, positioning the thumb hook
as required, and then tightening the screw. Do not
use excessive force when tightening the thumb-hook
screw.
