Pay particular attention to the fingerboard and the top of the instrument.

- Page 7 This can be caused by a variety of reasons: A violin can develop a rough spot at the peg, the nut, or the fine tuner if the winding of the string is too close to the wall of the pegbox.
- Page 8 Cecilio Musical Instruments shall be the sole arbiter of eligibility for warranty repair or replacement. Cecilio Musical Instruments liability is limited to repair or replacement of defective items.
