CAUTION
Make sure that the strings are resting in
their appropriate grooves in the bridge when
playing the instrument.
Strings may come out of their grooves when adjusting
the bridge or changing strings. Since the 1st (E) and
4th (G)/5th (C) strings tend to come out of their grooves
easily, use your fingers to hold the strings gently in
place when tuning the instrument.
Also, the 1st (E) string is fitted with a protective tube.
Make sure that the tube rests on the bridge.
Always make sure that the bridge is standing
vertically, whether the instrument is being
played or stored. (see diagram on page 6)
Even if the bridge is standing vertically before tuning,
it may tilt during the tuning process. If so, readjust the
bridge so it stands vertically.
It is very important that the bridge stands vertically. If
it leans in either direction it will impair the sound and
risk damaging the instrument.
CAUTION
If the adjuster is too
loose, it could produce
noise while playing.
