Caution

Set up

Tuning and Changing the Strings

The Silent Violin™ is shipped from the factory with the
bridge unfitted. First, set up the bridge and then proceed
with tuning. As the strings get old, sound quality will gradu-
ally decrease, and it will become difficult to tune the in-
strument. Change the strings as soon as you think they
are getting old.

• The end of the strings are sharp and can cut fingers. Use cau-

tion 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.

The lower side of the bridge supports the 1st string (E), the

higher side supports the 4th string (G). Make sure the bridge is

placed properly, then set the bridge in the bridge seat. The side

of the bridge with the logo imprint should face the tailpiece.

Ensure that the bridge stands vertically. If it leans to one side,

use both hands to adjust.  Make sure that each string passes

over the corresponding slits in the bridge.

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 first (E) and fourth (G) 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.

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.
