Before Playing the Instrument
■ About the Bridge
The instrument is shipped from the workshop with its bridge properly set and aligned on
the instrument's top.
After confirming that the bridge is in proper alignment, tune the instrument.
• Four notches in the bridge provide proper spacing between the strings.
Make sure that each string is set in its corresponding groove as shown in the illustration
below.
• Using the notches in the left and right side f holes as a guide, refer to the diagram below
and make sure that the bridge is properly positioned. If the bridge is not properly posi-
tioned, place the instrument on a stable surface, slightly loosen the strings, then gently
position the bridge using both hands. Also, make sure that each string is set in its groove.
[On the YVN100G/200G/500G]
The center of the bridge should be aligned
with a line running between the two f hole
notches that face the center of the violin.
