Setup■Installing the Bridge
The Silent Viola 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 (A),
the higher side supports the 4th string (C). Make sure
the bridge is placed properly, then set the bridge in the
bridge seat. (Make sure the logo side of the bridge is
facing the tailpiece.)
• Make sure the entire underside of the bridge’s legs is in
contact with the pickup.
Also, make sure that the bridge does not slide off of the
Bridge Seat or that its legs are touching the sides of the
Bridge Seat. Doing so will result in deteriorated sound
quality.
• Ensure that the tailpiece side of the bridge stands verti-
cally. If it leans to one side, use both hands to adjust.
Make sure that each string passes over the correspond-
ing slits in the bridge.
* Playing the viola with a leaning bridge may result
in damage to the bridge or a deterioration in sound
quality.
