1.)Take the new string , put it on the nail and then pull the string through the peg hole on the other side of the inst-
rument.
2.)Take 1/2 inch of the end of the string and bend it down at a 90 degree angle, using your fi ngers or a small pliers.
Than pull the string back so the bent down piece of the string points downwards at the peg. You want the fi rst two
winding of the string to go over the bent down piece of string. If this sounds confusing just look at the other pegs
which already have strings on them so you see the end result.
3.)Start to turn the tuning key clockwise to slightly tighten the string. Guide the string so that the fi rst two windings
of the strings will be over the bent down end of the string the next ones below that.
4.)Bevor tightening the string make sure that the string is in the right position.
Now you can start the tuning process (see „
the tuning process
“).
Important only use the original strings as they are custom made to fi t the instrument.
How to replace a broken string
If a string is broken, fi rst remove the string completely.
Look at the other strings of the same typ: how often are they
twisted around the pegs?
Please turn the peg of the bro-
ken string counterclockwise just as often!
If you don’t do this the peg will be pushed deeper and
deeper in the wood during the tuning process and either the
peg will break or the wood will split.
Now aline the peg, so the hole in the peg should point to-
ward the string side.
