How do I replace the violin bridge?
To replace the violin bridge, you must first buy a new bridge that fits on your instrument. Once you have a spare piece, place the bridge in the strings and slowly lift the connector until all the weight becomes from the bridge. Then remove the bridge and insert the new one, make sure it sits at 90 °, evenly distributed between the holes F and towards the correct direction. Slowly reduce the connector until the weight becomes back to the bridge and extends the connector out. In order to find a well -fitting new violin bridge, it may be best to visit your local tool shop to measure your tool. While adjustable bridges are available in several retailers, it is not necessarily ideal. If you can't find a violin bridge that fits on your instrument, you may need to be tailored.
Slide the bridge connector between the D and and and turn it until it is perpendicular to the existing bridge. Move the connector until it is as close as possible to the violin, keep the screw to move the connectorBetween D a and strings and held two bridges and lifted along with fingers if possible. Slowly start lifting the jack by twisting the screw until the weight of the strings rests on the connector. If you feel that there is too much pressure, gently release the strings to avoid rupture.
As soon as the jack lifts the strings, it slightly slips from the existing violin bridge. Depending on the age of your instrument, this may take some maneuvering. While the violin bridge is not glued down, it can settle in the tool. When removing the bridge, make sure you are very gentle and watch the collapse of the collapse. Jack holds approximately £ 40 (18 kilogruams) pressure and collapse could seriously damage your tool.
After removing the bridge, insert the new one. Most bridges are slightly tilted and the lowest end should retain the string E. Make sure the bridge is sorted by the same spacing between each hole F. If you placed the connector in harmony with an existing bridge, only small adjustments should be necessary if your old bridge oryl in place. The new bridge should be as close as possible to the tool as close as possible.
When the violin bridge is in place and retained against the connector, slowly lower the connector with the top screw. As soon as the strings rest on the new bridge, gently turn the connector and slip it over D and and Strings. Then re -indicate your tool.
