Changing Strings
1.
Thread the string through the corresponding string hole on the bridge, then tie the string as shown in the
illustration below.
After tying the knot, pull both ends of the string to make the knot firm on the bridge.
2.
Next, tie the strings to the pegs.
Hold the guitar so the head is facing you and wind the strings onto the pegs as shown in the illustration
below.
3.
After all six strings are strung, go on to the “Tuning” (page 8) procedure and tune the guitar properly.
As the strings get old, sound quality will gradually decrease, and it will become
difficult to tune the instrument. Change the strings as soon as you think they are
getting old.
Make sure you purchase a set of nylon guitar strings. The Silent Guitar uses a string
length of 650mm (25-9/16 inch).
• The end of the strings are sharp and can cut fingers. Use caution when changing strings.
• When changing or adjusting strings, do not put your face close to the instrument. The string may
suddenly break resulting in eye or other unexpected injuries.
• Winding the 4 th , 5 th and 6 th strings B
Make the first wind to the left of the
hole, and the remaining winds to the
right.
• Winding the 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd strings A
Make the first wind to the right of the
hole, and the remaining winds to the
left.
