L.R. Baggs VIOLIN PICKUP User Manual

VIOLIN PICKUP
This is a precision device and is 100% tested when it leaves
our factory. Thus, we insist that only qualified technicians
do the installation to ensure product performance. There-
fore, we will not warranty "home" installations.
1. Loosen the strings and remove the old bridge. Fit the
feet of the pickup bridge to the violin. Make sure the
pickup wire faces the chinrest for proper balance.
2. For proper string alignment and action of the new
bridge, place the old bridge on top of the pickup and
trace its outline on the new bridge. Trim excess wood
from the top of the new bridge and cut proper notches
for the strings.
3. You may remove as much as .032" from the entire front
face of the bridge to voice the violin. Carefully sand the
bridge on its face on a flat surface. Above the heart,
remove as much material as needed to match the old
bridge. Do not sand or shape the bridge's back side
where the wire connects.
4. Place the new bridge on the violin and tune the strings up
to pitch very slowly. Be sure that the bridge does not bow,
flex or tip at this time. Exercise care during this delicate
process. The sensors are vulnerable to damage here.
