Winding the Strings
1
Hook the string’s ball end into the string hole on the tailpiece. Make sure that the ball end is securely
positioned in the end of the string hole slit.
* If the ball end is larger than the string hole, thread the opposite end of the string through the hole from
the back side of the tailpiece.
2
Pull the string down toward the end pin and wrap the string around the end of the tailpiece making sure
it fits into its corresponding groove at the bottom of the tailpiece. Pull the string up and over the bridge.

Changing Strings
As the strings get old, sound quality will gradually decrease, and it will become difficult to tune
the instrument. Change the strings as soon as you think they are getting old.
Make sure you purchase Double Bass strings. The SILENT Bass
TM
uses a string length of
1,040 mm (41 inch).
• All strings should not be removed at the same time. Make sure strings are changed one at a time.
• The end of the strings are sharp and can cut fingers. Use caution when changing strings.
• When changing or adjusting strings, do not put your face close to the instrument. The string may sud-
denly break resulting in eye or other unexpected injuries.
