- For the violin strings and the viola A and D strings, please follow from STEP 1 to STEP 5. The ordering of the installation is suggested to begin with the A string, then the G string, and then the D string for violins; with the D string, then the C string, and then the G string for violas. (Only 3 strings need to be installed for violins and violas.)
- Usually, after A and G (D and C) in a violin (a viola) are installed, the space is small for D (G). Please squeeze the String Bean® a little bit before mounting D (G) on the tailpiece. Make sure that every bean touches nicely and neatly at the down side of the tailpiece.
- For the cello strings and the viola G and C strings, please take STEP 1., take off the Installation Kit, pass the string through String Bean®, and then go to STEP 4. (4 strings need to be installed for cellos.)
- The interior structure of the String Bean® for strings is carefully designed. On the surface, a line of the big circle is marked on every bean. Take it as the equator, use the installation Kit to pierce the String Bean® for strings through in the direction of the (north-south) poles. Put it somewhere at the middle of the pin.
- Hook the wool end of the string (the peg side) in a proper length and hook up in the hole of the installation Kit.
- Gently move the String Bean® for strings to go through the hole end. Make sure that the string goes through the String Bean® for strings, too.
- Gently slide the String Bean® for strings all the way down to the ball-end and avoid making the hole in the String Bean bigger when sliding.
- Mount the string in the instrument in the usual way. For violins and violas, make sure all String Bean® attach nicely to the tailpiece. For cellos, mount the strings from the down side of the tailpiece.
