Changing Strings
As the strings get old, sound quality will gradually decrease, and it will become
diffi cult to tune the instrument.
Change the strings as soon as you think they are getting old.
Always change strings one at a time, even when changing all of the strings.

Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust
the pitch of each string using the tuning pegs.
Before you string the instrument, set the fine
tuner so that it is in the middle of its adjustment
range. (1st string only)

Setting the Strings in the Tailpiece.
• Insert the ball ends of the 4th (G), 3rd (D) and 2nd (A) strings into the hole on the
tailpiece from above (or thread the string through the hole from underneath the tail-
piece), then slide the string into the narrow notch and pull up.
Caution
• The end of the strings are sharp and can cut fi ngers. Use caution when changing
strings.
• When changing or adjusting strings, do not put your face close to the instrument.
The string may suddenly break resulting in eye or other unexpected injuries.
