Before Playing the Instrument
The side of the bridge facing the tail-
piece should be at a right angle to
the body of the instrument.

Correct
Right Angle
• Make sure that the side of the bridge facing the tailpiece is standing at a right angle to
the top of the instrument. If the bridge is leaning either direction, place the instrument
on a stable surface, slightly loosen the strings then using both hands, gently adjust the
bridge’s angle. Make sure that the strings do not come out of their notches.
* Playing with a poorly aligned bridge can result in poor sound quality, and deformation or
damage to the bridge.

Tuning
• The strings are tuned to the following pitches;
The 1st string is tuned to E, the 2nd string to A,
the 3rd string to D, and the 4th string to G.
Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust
the pitch of each string using the tuning pegs.
When rotating the peg, apply firm pressure to-
wards the peg box.
• After tuning is complete, make sure that the
tailpiece side of the bridge is still properly
aligned. If the bridge is leaning in either direc-
tion, slightly loosen the strings and carefully
re-align the bridge using both hands.
