■ Setting the Knee Supports
The SILENT Cello™ is shipped with the knee sup-
ports folded.
Before playing, follow the procedure shown below to
properly set the knee supports into position.
1 Loosen the knee support lock knob (about 3 turns).
• Do not loosen the knob too much.
2 Slowly unfold the knee support arms on both sides of the
instrument until they are fully open.
• If the arm is caught and cannot be opened, loosen the
knee support lock knob a little more.
Use caution when expanding the knee sup-
port arms. Do not pinch your hand or fingers
in the arms.
3 Tighten the knee support lock knob and make sure that the
knee support arms stay in place.
• Make sure the knee supports are firmly secured in place.
If they are loose, they may produce noise or cause the
instrument to move about while being played.
4 Slowly unfold the knee supports until they are fully open.
5 Slide the stoppers, located on the inner side of the knee
supports, over the arm to lock the knee supports in place.
With this, setting of the knee supports is complete. To
fold the knee supports simply reverse the order of the
procedure shown above.
Don’t tighten the knee support lock knob unless
the knee support arms are fully opened or fully
closed. Doing so may result in damage.
Due to the design, tightening the lock knob
when the arms are closed will not lock the
arms in place.
• Do not carry the instrument by the knee supports. Always carry the instrument by the neck or body.
