Once the strings are inserted into their respective holes, you should begin the tightening process. You should do this by repeating a similar method to the way you loosened the strings. Starting with the lowest, make one to two full rotations before moving to the next. Repeat this until the strings have created equal tension on the bridge.

Repositioning the bridge will be important for you to do in this step. Place the bridge under the strings once they have been wound a few times around the peg. As you tighten the strings, be sure the bridge does not move out of its respective spot.
