Thank you for choosing the K&K Violinissimo!

INSTALLATION

1. Loosen strings a little bit, so you can lift the bridge just high enough to install
transducer discs.
2. Wedge the two round transducers underneath each bridge foot. The metal
sides should be positioned towards the instrument's top (see fig. 1). The
transducers do not need to be glued to the violin -- they are held in place by
the bridge's pressure.
3. Lead the cables to the high string side and attach the RCA plug with the
supplied adhesive to the string holder.
4. Affix the third oblong transducer into the one of the bridge wing slots (see
fig. 2). If you want to achieve a brighter sound, attach the pickup to the high
string slot, if you prefer a sound with more low end, use the low string slot.
5. If the slot should is too narrow, you will have to remove some material off the bridge. If the slot is too wide,
fill the gap with a suitable piece of paper or cardboard.
6. Re-tune the strings and re-adjust the bridge position if necessary
7. Any change in the strings' action can be corrected easily by deepening the bridge
notches.
8. The connection cable is supposed to be placed over the left shoulder and down the
player's back (for right handed violinists).
9. The Violinissimo has an RCA output. We supply a 6 foot RCA to female 1/4" cable
and from there you only need a standard guitar cable.
