Hold the bridge in one hand and tighten the strings in the reverse order
you loosened them. That is, tighten the A-string and D-string rst, and
then, tighten the E-string and G-string. Tighten until each string matches
its rough standard pitch (violin tuner suggested).
• Continue to adjust the bridge to keep it perpendicular to the violin
body every time you tighten the string so it is not leaning too far away
from the f-holes.
• After tightening all four strings, play a little to test the string placement.
If the distance between the strings is not comfortable for performance
(as noted in step 4), repeat step 2-6 and adjust the distance between
the strings on the bridge again to nd the proper distance.
Finally, make any last adjustments to the bridge. Ensure that it is nearly
perpendicular to the violin body. Also make sure that the feet of the
bridge sit at on the body of your violin.
