Warning! · When tuning or changing the strings, never hold the instrument close to your face. If the string breaks unexpectedly, it may result in injury to the eyes or face. The removal of all four strings from the instrument will result in the bridge collapsing, and the tailpiece falling off. · When tuning the strings, do not over loosen or over tighten the fine tuner. Doing so may result in damage to the instrument, or cause noise disturbances during performance.
