MOOV Travel User manual
Instructions!
Opening the packaging for the first time, you'll find Moov - travel guitar
folded into the main compartment of the case which can be opened by
dragging the heads of two large zippers on both edges as shown. In
order to unfold and assemble, follow the next steps:!
1) Loosen the safety belt and get Moov - travel guitar, which
consists of two parts, the body (with the bridge, tuning machines
and electric sound system) and neck (with fretboard).!
2) Unfold the two parts slowly until the strings are slightly stretched.
Check each string to be on the corresponding roller that directs it to
the tuning machines. !
!
3) Place Moov - travel guitar on your two legs with the strings down.
The two parts will form an obtuse angle. !
!
4) Push it down slowly aligning the two parts and stretching the strings.!
!
5) While holding with one hand and applying pressure in order to keep
Moov - travel guitar aligned, secure with the other hand the two
parts with the black latch. Check that all strings are in the
corresponding notch of the saddle of the bridge. Caution: Before
securing the two parts, do not leave the Moov - travel guitar at
all or reduce the strain because the string tension tends to fold
it again forcefully. !
6) Open the outer pocket of the case where the four brackets are located. Assemble them to the
corresponding positions, following the order of the photographs, by screwing the
thumbscrews. Make sure that the pins of the body fit into the corresponding sockets of each
bracket. The bracket that rests on the left leg can be adjusted to the height according to the
personal playing position so there is no need for a footrest or any other way of raising the
guitar. To change the height of this bracket, remove the plastic washer from the thread of the
thumbscrew and place the thumbscrew to the desired position. Then put back the washer in
place. You can also place the last two brackets vertically as in photo No.4. This is comfortable
for playing on the right leg. The four brackets form the guitar body at the points that get in
contact with the body of the player and are absolutely necessary for the right playing position."

7) Moov - travel guitar is now ready. Just tune and enjoy!!
8) To fold Moov travel guitar, follow the reverse procedure. !
9) A polymorphic guitar such as Moov - travel guitar needs to be accompanied by a polymorphic
case also. So if you want you can place Moov - travel guitar in its case without folding it and
removing only the four arms. Unclip the specific expanding part of the case and open the
main compartment by dragging the two large zippers to the points shown in the picture. Place
Moov - travel guitar in the case, secure it with the safety belt and close the case.!
Tip: Before folding Moov - travel guitar, loosen the strings by turning two full turns each tuning
peg.!
Electric sound system!
Moov - travel guitar is equipped with a high quality two-source
(piezoelectric crystal & microphone) electric sound system.
Let's take a look at all functions of it:!
(1) Sound volume, (2) Three band frequency equalizer (bass,
midrange, treble), (3) Phase shift, (4) Battery low indicator, (5)
Headphones output, (6) Microphone volume, (7) Microphone
tone, (8) Battery case, (9) Output for amplifier or audio console
(at the bottom of Moov - travel guitar). For a more natural
sound, use a classical/acoustic guitar amp rather than an
electric amplifier.!
To activate the electric sound system, insert a jack into the
headphone or amplifier/console output. In this kind of two
source electric sound systems, the piezoelectric crystal is used
as the basic sound source. Μicrophone is used in a small
percentage into the basic sound to give naturalness. Phase shift
gives to the sound a different tone while it proves very useful
when we want to avoid sound feedback.!
Making a good sound is a very personal and subjective affair. The following equalizer settings are
proposed just for beginning. For amplifier or audio console, lower the middle band -12dB. For
headphones, in addition to lowering the mid-range, add bass and lower treble depending on the
quality and type of headphones .!
