Care & Maintenance

Have fun!
• After playing, gently loosen the hairs of
the bow a little bit and place the bow in
its compartment in the Case and turn
the Restraining Hook back to its original
position.
• Gently clean the violin of the Rosin
residue and hand prints with the
Polishing Blanket supplied.
• You should not have to polish the violin.
Never use water or furniture polish
because that will hurt the nish and
affect the sound too.
• Place the violin in the case and secure
it in its place with its velcro strap. Make
sure that the cover closes with ease.
Never force the cover closed.
• Never store the violin near heat or cold
or any extreme conditions.
• When you are not using your Violin, do
not place the Case upside down.
• Hold the Violin with the left hand.
• Place the Violin on the left collar bone and the
front of the shoulder. Rest the left side of your
chin on the chin rest. Hold the Violin horizontally
or parallel with the oor, and slightly angled to
the left. q
• It is important to hold the Violin properly in the
left hand and to properly place the ngers on the
Strings. Your teacher will show you.
• The left elbow should be under the center of the
Violin.
• Your rst sounds will be made using open Strings,
that is, without your ngers on the Strings.
• Hold the Bow in the right hand, with the ngers
on the beginning of the wood and the thumb just
off the Frog. w
• Place the Bow (after adding Rosin to the Hairs)
on the open Strings, one String at a time, and
pull and push the Bow across the String. A sound
should be made.
• The rst sounds might be “scratchy.” Eventually,
the sound will grow in beauty and ease of playing.
• You will also nd that the speed of the Bow and
the weight or pressure of the Bow on the Strings
should be “equal” for the best sound. Again, your
teacher will show you.

Place the Violin case in front of you as
shown in this picture. You should be able
to see the Suzuki logo on the case. If you
do not see the logo, the case is upside
down and should NOT be opened. Open
the case ONLY if you can see this logo.
Unzip the 2 zippers. Make sure to fully
unzip each zipper to the very end. q
When you open the
lid of your new Violin
Carrying Case, you will
see the Violin, Bow,
Storage Compartment
and Polishing Blanket.
Your new Violin includes these
accessories.
Violin
Bow
Storage Compartment
Polishing Blanket
Polishing Blanket
Case Strap
Bow Rosen
Bow Rosen Bag
Remove the Violin and Bow from the
Case and carefully unwrap the outer
plastic wrap. Loosen the draw string
and remove the Violin from the bag.
Place this bag back into the Case.
This picture shows you
what your Violin will
look like when it has
been properly set up.
Read the next sections
to learn how to care
for your new Violin.
• Carefully remove the Protective Cover
that is around the Tuners. This cover can
be thrown away.
• Locate the Bow on the inside of the Case. Turn the Restraining Hook a
quarter turn. Now you can easily remove the Bow from the case.
• Gently turn the Tension Screw to tighten the Hairs
on the Bow.
• Locate the Rosin in the Storage Compartment.
• Put a small amount of Rosin on the Bow Hairs before playing. Hold
the Rosin in the left hand and the Bow in the right hand. Place the
Bow on the Rosin surface, then move the Bow back and forth a few
times so that some of the Rosin gets on the Hairs.
• Rosin is needed because it helps create friction for the Bow. It is the
friction that is created when moving the Bow against the strings that
makes the string vibrate and produces the sound. New Bows need a
little bit more Rosin at rst.
• Tune your Violin using the 4
Tuning Pegs. The Strings are
tuned to the following note pitch
from low string to high string: G,
D, A and E. q
• Carefully loosen one Tuning Peg
at a time. Wind or unwind the
string to correct the pitch. Then
push the Tuning Peg back. w
• Use the Fine Tuners to complete
the tuning process. e
Stop!

a few notes, its time to get some private
instruction. Your music teacher may

are looking for. It’s a great way to get
real good, real fast.
