First time players will achieve the best results by bringing the violin to a music teacher to assist with the initial assembly. Please read through the manual below to familiarize yourself with your new instrument. If damaged goods are found, the wrong item was received, an exchange or refund in required, please email your seller immediately.
Getting Started You must assemble and tune your new violin prior to playing. If you have a violin instructor we recommend you see him/her to assist you with assembling, cleaning, and tuning your instrument for the first time. If you cannot wait, follow these steps: 1. BRIDGE: The bridge is preset before we ship out the violin; however, since it is not permanently glued on, and it’s held down by the tension of the strings only, it might come off or misalign during shipment.
How to Tune Your Violin How to Tune a Violin with a Tuner 1. Switch the tuner ON. 2. Pluck the violin’s G string. 3. Watch the gauge on the tuner, where you see a little needle moving around. The needle registers the pitch and tells you if your note is too low or too high. The tuner may also have a green light, to tell you when you’re on the best pitch. 4. Make the adjustments to the violin string using the fine tuners (tighten if the note is too low, or loosen if it’s too high). 5. Pluck the string again.
If you can’t get the string perfectly in tune, that’s okay. Just get it as close as you can. For the rest of the pegs, you’ll use the same process, except when you go to tune the G and the D strings you’ll switch hands and use your left hand to turn and your right hand to pluck and support. Note: If you play a note that sounds too high, carefully bring your finger closer to the violin scroll until you hear the right note.
