Safety Tips Please consider the following points of safety. · To prevent contact, always maintain sufficient distance between yourself and other people/objects when playing the instrument. The shape of the bow is capable of causing harm if care is not taken at all times. Do not swing, throw or engage in any other movements that could potentially cause damage to other people/objects, or to the bow itself. · Take care not to pinch your hands or fingers when closing the case. 2 Cautions Relating to the Instrument The instrument's body is made from natural woods (spruce, maple, ebony, etc. ) that are held together with glue. For this reason, there may be some cases in which sudden changes in temperature or humidity cause the glue to fail, or tuning or performance related problems. Please pay close attention to the environment and manner in which you use the instrument. · In summer or winter seasons, wait until the instrument has adjusted to room temperature before playing. 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. Cautions Relating to Items Included with the Set and Accessories · The following parts are included in the set. · When the case is equipped with a hygrometer: This hygrometer does not provide precise measurements so it should only be used as a guide when caring for the instrument. About the Bow · Using the supplied rosin, apply rosin to the bow hair before use. Make sure that the rosin is applied evenly over the entire length of the bow.
