Everyone,

thanks,

I have really made a lot of mistakes this time round but now I understand what is going on.

Putting the strings on a violin is actually quite complicated and there should be instructions in the packet.

People need to know :

What way round to put the bridge. Not to take all the strings off at once. What pegs to put the strings onto. What to do if the sound post slips. Not to tune to full pitch to quickly in case of a string snap.

A simple leaflet would suffice !

Also the packet should say what type of music the strings are best suited too.
