6.1 Changing strings
Strings are subject to a natural aging process, which is also affected by the frequency
of use of the instrument. Changing the strings is recommended if the sound quality
of the instrument decreases audibly. Always replace the complete set of strings
(strings of 4/4 length) and always go string by string. In this way you avoid a strong
temporary bending of the neck due to reduced string tension. The bridge also
remains in the correct position and does not have to be readjusted.
1.
For example, loosen the run-down E string from the trapezoidal machine head
attached to the bottom of the body (tailpiece).
2.
Thread the new E string into the tailpiece on the headstock, pull it over the
bridge into the bore of the machine head.
3.
Hook the string end to the machine head and tighten the string tension slowly.
At the first windings, pay particular attention that the string is taut to the
mechanics.
4. Make sure that the string is running correctly through the grooves of bridge
and nut at the upper end of the neck.
5. Slowly increase the string tension until the correct pitch is reached. Use a tuner
or a pitch pipe for reference.
6. Proceed in the same way with the A, D and G strings and then tune all strings
again successively to the correct pitch. Note that the string tension will drop a
little and the instrument needs to be retuned several times until the strings
stay in tune.
6.2 Battery change
Replace the inserted battery if necessary (weak output signal) or at regular intervals.
1.
Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the instrument and
remove the battery.
2. Insert the new battery into the battery compartment the correct way around
and close the battery compartment cover until it audibly latches into place.
Proceed as follows to change the
strings:
