How to Position Violin Bridge
To slightly adjust your instrument's bridge, rst properly support the violin so it
cannot slip or fall in any way. Place your middle and ring ngers along the front
and back of the bridge, using your index ngers to very gently move the bridge
back to a 90 degree angle.
The pegs can be shrink or expand due to the temperature and humidity changes.
When the peg shrink, it will not t the peg hole as well as they were originally made. It will
leave a little gap between the peg and peg hole. This is why the strings slip. Simply apply the
rosin powder or peg drop oil (which you can get from the retail store) on the pegs and peg
hole. This will ll the little gap in between and increase the friction.
Floss the bow with Rosin for at least 5-10 minutes until you see the white powders
come out from the horse hair before it can make sound.
It is not in a xed position but is held in place by being custom t to match the
curvature of your instrument. During shipping it is possible for the sound post to come loose
or dislodge itself. If this happens, please see a local luthier or repair technician.
