INSTRUMENTAL SET UP
Setting up an instrument for optimum performance requires extensive knowledge and skill. In the Southern Hemisphere, our workshop is recognised as a leader in stringed instrument set-up.
Over the years we have cared for many fine instruments, including those played by leading soloists from throughout the world. Excellent set-up enables each instrument to reach its full potential. A well set up instrument will facilitate ease and comfort in the player which allows for the development of excellent technique.
To set up an instrument we do the following:
Plane the fingerboard for optimal dip and curvature
Replace the top nut to facilitate correct string height and spacing
Cut and fit the sound-post
Cut and fit an Antonio Strings bridge
Fit and adjust the pegs
Adjust the tailpiece length
Select strings that compliment the instrument
****We may carry out a number of additional adjustments, before an item meets our standard for sales.
