Violin String Installation and Fixing Method
Each string should be installed on the specified spool, and the strings should be wound in sequence, and the strings should be

installed as straight as possible, so that the strings are not easy to loosen. Don't stagger the strings, which will restrict

each other and affect the tuning of the strings. After the strings are inserted into the shaft hole, the twisting direction is

from inside to outside, so be careful not to reverse the twisting. In order to adjust the string conveniently, the direction

and position of the string axis should be adjusted when loading the string. When tuning a string, generally, the pitch of the

A string is calibrated first, and then the D, E and G strings are respectively calibrated according to the pitch of the A

string. Sometimes after several strings are moved, the pitch of A string will be low, so it needs to be proofread repeatedly.

When learning to tune a string for beginners, you can listen to a single tone first, and then pull two strings at the same

time after the pitch is basically calibrated, and adjust them slightly until the sound is completely harmonious. The process

of tuning the string is also the process of practicing the ear, so it is forbidden to practice the piano without tuning the

string. Under the influence of climate change, the chord axis will become tight and loose, which makes it inconvenient to

adjust the chord. When it is too tight, pencil lead can be used to coat the shaft; Apply some rosin when it is too loose.
