I Tuning

The Silent Electric Cello is shipped from the factory with the bridge unfitted. First, set up
the bridge and then proceed with tuning.
• The lower side of the bridge supports the 1st string
(A), the higher side supports the 4th string (C). Make
sure the bridge is placed properly, then set the bridge
in the bridge seat. The side of the bridge with the
logo should face the tailpiece.
• Ensure that the tailpiece side of the bridge stands
vertically. If it leans to one side, use both hands to
adjust. Make sure that each string passes over the
corresponding slits in the bridge.
