Setup ■ Tuning The Silent Violin 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 (E), the higher side supports the 4th string (G). Make sure the bridge is placed properly, then set the bridge in the bridge seat. The side of the bridge with the AUBERT logo should face the tailpiece. • Ensure that the bridge stands vertically. If it leans to one side, use both hands to adjust.

Refer to the illustration and insert the shoulder rest into the holes provided (on the rear of the instrument) to suit your playing position. Pins • If the instrument can be held comfortably without the shoulder rest, the use of the rest won’t be necessary. • The pins on the shoulder rest slightly point outward.
