string while tensioning the string. Simply insert the loose end into the tear drop shaped holes
and slide the string toward the point of the hole.
STRINGING THE FRAME
Base Clamp Operation
Rotate the lever lock clockwise to secure
the clamp base to the turntable.
Reverse the clamping procedure to unlock
the string clamp.
The lever should be tightened enough to
prevent clamp base slippage on the turn-
table, when the desired tension is placed
on the string. To go from the loose position
to the clamped position and back, gener-
ally requires about 1/2 to 3/4 quarters of a
turn. Although when stringing at extremely
high tensions, additional tightness may be
required.
Getting Started
To begin stringing the main strings, thread
the two ends of the string through the two
center holes at the appropriate end of the
frame and continue through the opposite
center holes. Thread one end of the string
through the adjacent grommet hole and pull
excess by hand.
Secure one of the strings using a string clamp.
Handy tip: The tear drop shaped holes
towards the back of the shoulder supports
are handy for holding the loose end of the
Gripping the String
While holding the tension bar slightly above
horizontal, wrap the free string clockwise
around the gripper drum once and position
between the gripper jaw.
Gently turn the gripper clockwise while
squeezing the jaws together until all slack
in the string is removed.
Note: For proper operation, the string grip-
per jaw must be in the position shown. The
tension in the string provides the clamping
force to the jaws.
