1. Remove all rosin deposits from the bridge of the instrument.
2. Examine the bridge closely to make sure that the wing slots are free of warps or irregularities and that the slots present flat parallel faces.

INSTALLATION
Measure the opening of the wing slot on the bridge with a vernier caliper. The opening should be
If the wing slot measures less than .060" (1.5 mm), employ a qualified repairman to enlarge the wing slot.
If the wing slot measures more than .090 inch (2.3 mm), a small wooden shim may be required. If so, use an adhesive to bond the shim to the "leg" face.
Slide the Transducer into the wing slot of the bridge (See Fig.1). Make cer- tain that the sensing element is in contact with the wing face and that the spring is in contact with the corresponding "leg" face of the bridge.
The spring (made of tempered beryllium copper) provides the proper ten- sion for a snug fit in wing slots ranging from .060 inch to .090 inch (1.2 mm to 2.3 mm).
NOTE: For best performance, the wing slot opening should be exactly .070" (1.8mm).
