INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important: Using the tracking enhancers on your Zeta Violin will maximize the performance of the Synthony II.
(Please refer to the following diagrams for illustrations of each step)
Step 1: Remove strings from violin. Be careful not to let the tailpiece fall on to the violin’s top. We recommend wrapping the tailpiece with a soft cloth before string removal to prevent damaging the violin finish.
NOTE: The standard tailpiece can be fully removed only if the ground wire is cut. *This is not recommended.
*The Jazz Fusion violins have stationary tailpieces and also do not need to be removed.
Step 2: Install the tracking enhancer at the nut. (See diagram #1) You must first trim the tracking enhancer to fit the width of the nut. Once trimmed to the proper size, glue it in place (using superglue) with the “fat” end under the “G” string. It should fit flush against the nut, on the surface of the fingerboard. Use only a small amount of super glue to hold it in place.
*The tracking enhancer at the nut helps control false triggering on open strings when playing in MIDI mode.
(WARNING! Super glue can damage the finish of the violin. We recommend putting a small amount of super glue on the end of a toothpick and applying it to the fingerboard where glue is needed. Please take all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of glue in sensitive finish areas of the neck and fingerboard.)
Step 3: Trim Tracking Enhancer to fit under the bridge foot.
Trim the edges of the tracking enhancer using a pair of sharp scissors or an exacto/razor blade knife.
NOTE: For best fit, measure the bridge foot on your violin and trim the tracking enhancer to the exact size of the bridge foot, before installing it on the violin.
Step 4: Install Tracking Enhancer under bridge (See diagram #2)
Gently lift the bridge about 1/8” off the top of the violin and slip the tracking enhancer under the bridge. The slit on the edge of the tracking enhancer’s centerhole will allow you to slip it around the bridge wire where it enters the top of the violin.
Step 5: Re-String the violin
Align the bridge foot evenly over the tracking enhancer and put the strings back on the bridge. You may want to
