When you receive the violin please notice that the bridge is wrapped in paper and stowed underneath the tailpiece. Don t discard it. It should be installed in the middle of the two F Holes. 2. When you receive the bow and the hairs are loose don t worry. Use the screw to tighten the frog so that the hair has tautness. 3. When you find that part of the bow hair is broken it is normal please cut off the broken part and the bow can be used normally. 4. Be careful to not over tighten your bow. The hair should have a slight bounce to it without touching the stick after placing it on the strings. Usually about 1/4 of an inch distance from the low point of the curve to the hair is ideal. 5. Hold the rosin with your index finger and thumb and thus tighten up the bow evenly smear the rosin on the bowstring up and down. Suggested use: before smearing rip a trace on rosin to make it powdery for quick and even smearing. Try to keep your hands away from rosin or pad with a tissue while smearing; otherwise it will become too sticky to clean. 6. If the string falls out don t worry it can be reinstalled please consult customer service.
