QUICK START GUIDE
Step 1
To get a first impression of the Pirastro KorfkerCradle‘s
unique features, please follow these steps:
Position the wooden hooked feet onto the bottom edge of
your violin.
When using a side mounted chin rest either change the
position of the hooked foot or use the aluminium foot with
its matching Torx screw, found in the included accessories.
For further instructions about adjusting the hooked feet,
please refer to the instruction manual (p. -).

Step 2
Step 3
Using the key, carefully loosen the Torx screws of the ball
feet so that they can be easily moved. Now slide them
beyond the edge of the violin.
After checking that the Cradle is positioned symmetrically
on the violin, position the ball feet in such a way that they
tightly hug the edge of the violin as shown and tighten the
screws carefully.

Step 4
If the ball feet have been fitted tightly enough, you will
hear a click when they are remounted onto the violin.
Always attach the ball feet one by one.

Step 5
The shoulder rest has been set up to be comfortable for a
wide range of players. Simple adjustments can be made
by loosening the two tightening discs and moving the
shoulder rest legs to their desired position. For further
adjustments to the height, degree of tilt and shape of the
shoulder rest, please refer to the instruction manual.
