Setup; Tuning - Yamaha Silent Violin SV130 Owner's Manual

■ Tuning

The Silent Violin is shipped from the factory with the bridge unfitted. First, set up
the bridge and then proceed with tuning.
• The lower side of the bridge supports the 1st string
(E), the higher side supports the 4th string (G).
Make sure the bridge is placed properly, then set the
bridge in the bridge seat. The side of the bridge with
the AUBERT logo should face the tailpiece.
• Ensure that the bridge stands vertically. If it leans to
one side, use both hands to adjust. Make sure that
each string passes over the corresponding slits in
the bridge.
• The strings are tuned to the following pitches. The
1st string is tuned to E, the 2nd string to A, the 3rd
string to D, and the 4th string to G.
Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust the
pitch of each string using the tuning pegs. When
rotating the peg, apply firm pressure towards the head
stock.
• After tuning is complete, make sure the bridge is
still properly aligned. If the bridge is leaning in ei-
ther direction, slightly loosen the strings and care-
fully re-align the bridge using both hands.
• Finally, use the adjuster to fine tune the strings.
