First time players will achieve the best results by bringing the violin to a music teacher to assist with the
initial assembly.
Please read through the manual below to familiarize yourself with your new instrument. If damaged
goods are found, the wrong item was received, an exchange or refund in required, please email your
seller immediately.
Getting Started
You must assemble and tune your new violin prior to playing. If you have a violin instructor we recommend you see
him/her to assist you with assembling, cleaning, and tuning your instrument for the rst time. If you cannot wait,
follow these steps:

1. BRIDGE:
The bridge is preset before we ship out the violin; however, since it is not permanently
glued on, and it's held down by the tension of the strings only, it might come o or misalign
during shipment. If that happen, please reinsert the bridge into proper position. Keep in mind
that not all players have the same size hands and ngers. Some violins come with the bridge
not set at the correct height for the player and need to be adjusted. If this is the case then a
professional luthier should adjust the bridge to get it comfortable to play.
2. STRINGS:
Gradually tighten each string in the sequence of G-D-A-E. The reason for starting
from G string is to prevent damaging the thinner E and A strings. Tighten only 1-2 notes higher
on one string at a time. Then tighten the next. Do not tighten one string all the way to the
desire pitch while leaving the other strings very loose. This will create unequal pressure on the
bridge causing it to fall.
