Instructions on how to install our strings:
1) It is no longer necessary to pull off the second silver wire of strings 4 and 5. The strings placed on the peg should be left slightly slack so that they can make at least one couple of turns around the peg so as to avoid the ‘shear effect’ of the hole in the peg.
2) If the strings are too long it is possible to cut them at the proper length.
3) During the first phase of tuning, lift the string above the bridge so as not to drag it forward
4) Finally, it is suggested to keep the string out of the of the nut slot/groove so as to balance the tension ‘upstream and downstream’ in the nut itself. Graphite it is not necessary.
