Carefully place the bridge upright between the F-holes on the violin top, ensuring it's centered. Gently push the tuning pegs into the pegbox and turn them slowly to tune each string to the correct pitch (G, D, A, E), being careful not to overtighten. — Attach the Bridge and Tune 2. Rub the rosin cake onto the bow hair several times. This creates friction needed to produce sound. Too much rosin can cause scratchy noise, while too little will result in a weak or no sound. — Apply Rosin to the Bow 3. Attach the adjustable shoulder rest to the back of the violin, positioning it for comfortable support. Hold the violin correctly and practice drawing the bow across the strings to produce a clear, sustained tone. — Adjust Shoulder Rest and Play ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Recommended Player Level | Beginner | | Included Accessories | Hard Case, Brazilwood Bow, Rosin, Adjustable Shoulder Rest, Extra Strings, Bridge | | Setup Note | Bridge not pre-setup to avoid shipping damage.
