General directions:
The parts are glued together with regular wood glue (not included in the kit).
Don’t glue the bridge or any part that’s adjustable.
Make sure that all surfaces that touch are fully glued together. This prevents undesirable vibration when
you’re playing.
When removing parts from the plate that are still attached, it’s best to cut the attached points with a sharp
knife, to avoid splintering.
Before gluing, it is wise to assemble the parts without glue, so that you’re sure how they fit together. You
can assemble most of the instrument without glue, to get an idea of how the parts go together.
It’s best to read through the whole sequence, before starting.
If you do something wrong, it is possible to release wood glue by heating it (e.g. with a pressing iron)
