How to Change the Strings on a Violin or Viola?
A three-quarter sized student violin comprising: a body assembly, and a neck affixed to the body assembly at one end, said body assembly including a top plate having a pair of f-holes formed therein, a back plate, and a generally continuous ribwood, therebetween, fixed proximate to and generally conforming to the periphery of said plates, said ribwood including an upper rib section, a center rib section, and a lower rib section, said upper rib section defining an upper bout section of said body assembly, said center rib section defining a center bout section of said body assembly, and said lower rib section defining a lower bout section of said body assembly, wherein the volume of air of said student violin manufacturer is approximately equal to the volume of air of a full-size student violin, and the length of said body assembly is approximately equal to the length of the body assembly of a three-quarter size student violin supplier. The strings of a student violin or electric viola will inevitably wear out at some point, fortunately, replacing them is not very difficult. However, this must be done properly. If done incorrectly, the instrument can be damaged. These instructions will show you how to replace the strings correctly.Remove ONE of the old strings, leave the other 3 old strings on the instrument. To remove a string, turn the tuning peg counter-clockwise until the string is entirely unwound, then pull the end out of the hole in the peg. It is important to only remove one string at a time because the bridge and sound post are held in place only by the tension of the strings, and adjusting a bridge or sound post that has moved is a job best left to a professional luthier. Only wind the string around the peg a few times, at this point. Winding this way will help keep the pegs from slipping.Inaccomplishing these and other objects in accordance with the preferred embodiment, the three-quarter size Moderate student violin of the present invention comprises a body assembly, and a neck affixed to the body assembly at one end. The body assembly includes a top plate having a pair of f-holes formed therein, a back plate, and a generally continuous ribwood therebetween fixed proximate to and generally conforming to the periphery of the plates. The ribwood includes an upper rib section, a center rib section and a lower rib section. The upper rib section defines an upper bout section of the body assembly, the center section defines a center bout section of the body assembly, and the lower rib section defines a lower bout section of the body assembly. Take the other end of the new string and insert the metal ball into the slot on the tailpiece, or into the slot on the fine tuner. Some E strings (A strings, for viola), come with a loop end instead of a ball. The loop of these simply hooks onto the loop on the fine tuner.Carefully tighten the string up to the correct pitch, taking care that the string stays in the grooves on the bridge and at the nut (by the peg box). Don't attempt to tune the string any higher than the pitch it was designed to be tuned to, as this could break the string.Repeat the above for the remaining three strings. In a preferred embodiment, the height of the upper rib section tapers from approximately 11/4" to approximately 11/841 , and the volume of air of the General Grade student violins is substantially equal to the volume of air of a full-size violin so that the air-space tone sounds C above Middle C. Preferably, the length of the f-holes are substantially similar to the lengths of f-holes in full-size student violins supplier, namely, approximately 3" in length; and the narrowest distance between the f-holes is approximately 15/8". It is also preferable that the violin includes a bridge, having bridge feet, which is substantially similar in size to a bridge used in a full-size student violin, with the bridge feet having spacing identical to the narrowest distance between the f-holes. Preferably, a bass-bar similar in size to a bass-bar used in a full-size violin is used, measuring 101/4" in length.
