BridgeBoneBeads Instruction Sheet |

Handmade three-hole BridgeBoneBeads– An enhancement in guitar performance.
Important! Before you begin – please read instructions! BridgeBoneBeads are hand-carved bone. Each bead is individual and different, but great care is taken to strive for uniformity in size and shape. The slight difference from bead to bead is normal, and adds to the unique design. If handled properly, they should last for the life of your instrument.
♫ All the beads in your kit have a flat side to allow more clearance between the BridgeBoneBead and the soundboard. This will face the soundboard, so when it is properly used, it will be hidden from view.
♫ For ease of tying heavy bass strings, it is recommended that you have a small needle nose pliers to help pull your tie tight. A nail clipper will help trim excess string if desired.
Tie Procedure
Large hole beads are used on thicker strings ( 5 and 6 ). Small hole beads are used for strings ( 1- 4 ). There is one extra of each.
♫ 1) Begin by threading the long hole, leaving about four inches of string to thread the side holes.
♫ 2) Now push the string through the top side hole and loosely thread it back through the bottom side Hole. ( Fig. A ) The final threading step involves bringing the string end through the first loop ( Fig. B )

♫ 3) After threading the BridgeBoneBead, pull the string tight and trim the end if desired. Now push the open end string through the back of the bridge and you are ready to connect the string to the rollers as you normally do.
Important! - Once the string begins to pull tight, simply reposition the BridgeBoneBead and gently pull up a little to make sure the bead is positioned as far away from the soundboard as possible. This assures that no contact marks are made on the soundboard. A nail clipper can be used to neatly trim excess string on the end of the BridgeBoneBead.
That’s it!
