The owner of this electro-acoustic violin wanted some mechanical pegs fitted in order to ease tuning. She was also having some issues getting the E string to sound easily. I realised that the string had cut into the bridge, meaning it was sitting very low and was difficult to catch with the bow during fast passages, so I adjusted the bridge curve a bit and fitted a parchment patch to avoid this happening in the future. (A standard feature on my new bridges.)

This student cello came in for a bit of setup work. I fitted a new soundpost and some decent strings as well as tweaking the bridge to achieve a more comfortable string height and improving the fit of the pegs.
