1.Line up all the tuning post holes, so the holes are open toward the nut. This way the string can go straight through the tuning post (Figure 1).
2. Identify and insert each string into the hole in the tuning post.
- Make sure you keep holding the string straight and the string should pass through the nut (Figure 2.1) and bridge saddle (Figure 2.2).
- Then leave enough length for a few wraps around the post, you can measure an additional length of about 4-5cm of string from the tuning post
(Figure 2.3).
3. Keep holding the string straight and make sure you have left additional length, then,
- Hold the end of the additional length and push it back to the string post about 4-5cm (Figure 3.1), then bend (a.k.a. crimp) the remaining string at
a 90-degree angle (Figure 3.2).
4. Tighten the string by turning the tuning key, making sure the string wraps downward along the post, and press the string on the nut (Figure 4).
Tune to pitch and then trim off leftover string ends.
