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 hu-
midity 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.
Rotate the button to adjust the bow hair tension.
• Make sure that the bow hair is suffi ciently loosened before placing the bow in the case.
• Before storing any bow in the case other than the one that came with the instrument, make sure its
length allows for proper and secure storage in the case.

Bow, case, and rosin.
• 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. (When applying rosin for
the fi rst time, apply abundantly.)
• Always loosen the hair on the bow when the bow is not used.
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.
• Always change the strings one at a time, never all at once. The removal of all four strings
from the instrument will result in the bridge collapsing, and the tailpiece falling off. Other
problems may occur.
• When tuning the strings, do not over loosen or over tighten the fi ne tuner. Doing so may
result in damage to the instrument, or cause noise disturbances during performance.
Warning!
• The bow’s shape can make it a danger to persons and objects close by. When playing the
instrument make sure suffi cient space is provided between you and the next person or ob-
ject, etc. Never treat the bow in a rough manner, such as swinging or throwing the bow.
