 Winding the Strings
1.
Hook the string's ball end into the string hole on the tailpiece. Make sure that the ball end is
securely positioned in the end of the string hole slit.
* If the ball end is larger than the string hole, thread the opposite end of the string through the
hole from the back side of the tailpiece.
2.
Pull the string down toward the end pin and wrap the string around the end of the tailpiece mak-
ing sure it fits into its corresponding groove at the bottom of the tailpiece. Pull the string up and
over the bridge.
