Resumen del manual
High volume settings could cause damage to the equip- ment and your hearing. • If a connection cord is unplugged while the power is ON, it may result in damage to the equip- ment. The sudden shock to your ears may be great, so please use with care. • Be careful not to step on the cord. The cord may break, equipment may be damaged, and this may cause a substantial shock to your ears. • The signal from the Silent Electric Cello’s output jacks must NEVER be returned to the AUX IN jack, either directly or through external equipment. Doing so will result in feedback which may cause damage to the internal electronics. • When connecting the instrument to external audio equipment, check the jack size and make sure to use a plug size that corresponds to the jack being used, and properly connect the cable to the jack. • When a powered speaker is connect to the LINE OUT jack, speakers with inadequate power ratings may distort due to the low frequencies produced by the instrument. For sufficient head- room, used powered speakers with a power rating of 50 watts or more. Set up ¦ Tuning and Changing the Strings The Silent Electric Cello is shipped from the factory with the bridge unfitted. First, set up the bridge and then proceed with tuning. As the strings get old, sound quality will gradually decrease, and it will become difficult to tune the instrument. Change the strings as soon as you think they are getting old. • The end of the strings are sharp and can cut fingers. Use caution when changing strings. • When changing or adjusting strings, do not put your face close to the instrument. The string may suddenly break resulting in eye or other unexpected injuries. • The lower side of the bridge supports the 1st string (A), the higher side supports the 4th string (C). Make sure the bridge is placed properly, then set the bridge in the bridge seat. The side of the bridge with the logo imprint should face the tailpiece. • Ensure that the bridge stands vertically. If it leans to one side, use both hands to adjust. Make sure that each string passes over the corresponding slits in the bridge.

Even if the bridge is standing vertically before tuning, it may tilt during the tuning process. If so, readjust the bridge so it stands vertically. It is very important that the bridge stands vertically. If it leans in either direction it will impair the sound and risk damaging the instrument. [Bridge is placed vertically] • The strings are tuned to the following pitches. The 1st string is tuned to A, the 2nd string to D, the 3rd string to G, and the 4th string to C. Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust the pitch Raise of each string using the tuning pegs. pitch 2nd string (D) 3rd string (G) Lower pitch 1st string (A) 4th string (C) • Use the tension adjustment screw on the tuning machines to adjust the amount of pressure required to turn the tuners. * If the tuning machine turns with very slight pressure > Rotate the adjustment screw to the right (clockwise: A). * If the tension is tight and the tuning machine is hard to turn > Rotate the adjustment screw to the left (counter-clockwise: B). • Finally, use the adjuster to fine tune the strings. A B Caution If the adjuster is too loose, it could produce noise while playing. Don’t loosen too much. Make sure that the Tail Nylon is correctly positioned on top of the Saddle. Caution Tall nylon Saddle • When the instrument is not being used, loosen the strings until the pitch drops a whole tone. • If the instrument is not going to be used for an extended period of time, loosen the strings even more. • Before using the instrument, make sure that the bridge is positioned vertically. Damage to the bridge and poor sound quality may result if the bridge is not properly positioned. Winding the Strings 1 Before you string the instrument, set the adjuster so that it is in the middle of its adjustment range. (All adjusters) 2 Place the ball (on the end of the string) in the notch on the adjuster. Make sure the ball is properly inserted in the adjuster’s notch. 3 At a point about 2 cm from the string’s end, bend the string at a right angle and insert the end into the hole in the tuner. While pulling the string toward the bridge to maintain string tension, turn the tuner machine to wind the string around the tuning post. Make sure the string is wound toward the base of the post as shown in the illustration below. The adjuster should be set to the middle of its adjustment range. 1st string (A) 4th string (C) 2nd string (D) 3rd string (G) Adjuster’s notch String Ball Insert the string’s end into this hole Wind the string [Looking from the front] String About 2 cm The adjuster should be set to the middle of its adjustment range. 1st...
