3. Insert the end of the string into the hole on the peg, turn the peg and make one or two wraps to
one side of the hole as shown in the illustration below, and then make the remaining wraps in
the opposite direction. From the perspective at the front of the instrument, the first couple of
wraps on the 1st (G) and 2nd (D) strings should be to the left of the hole, whereas on the 3rd
(A) and 4th (E) strings, the first wraps should be made to the right.
4. Turn the pegs to perform tuning to match the sound of a piano, tuning fork, tuner, or the like.
For more information about tuning, see the cautionary notes under “Tuning” (page 12).
• Before winding the strings, stand the bridge so that the surface of the bridge facing the tailpiece is
vertical to the body surface on which the bridge rests.
• Before winding the strings, make sure that each string is positioned in its corresponding groove on
the bridge.
• Before winding the strings, the adjust string length so that the string does not rub up against the
pegbox wall. Performing tuning while a string is rubbing up against the wall can result in a broken
string or the like.
• When winding strings, be careful that the bridge is not pulled by the strings and pushed down
towards the fingerboard.
• When not using the instrument for a long period of time, slightly loosen the strings before storage.
• Always use the product with the bridge standing vertical to the surface on which the bridge rests. Using
the product with the bridge leaning to one side can shorten the service life of the bridge and reduce
sound quality.
