Setup
■Tuning
The Silent Violin is shipped from the factory with the bridge unfitted. First, set up
the bridge and then proceed with tuning.
•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 AUBERT logo 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.
•The strings are tuned to the following pitches. The 1st string is tuned to E, the 2nd string to A, the 3rd string to D, and the 4th string to G.
Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust the pitch of each string using the tuning pegs. When rotating the peg, apply firm pressure towards the head stock.

•Finally, use the adjuster to fine tune the strings.
