STRING CHANGING INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:Unlock the three clamps at the nut with the 3mm allen wrench provided with the guitar or bridge.
Step 2:Set the fine-tuners on the bridge to the middle of there tuning range
Step 3:Change one string at a time (starting at either E string) by first loosening the string and unclamping it at the saddle with the 3mm allen wrench.
Step 4:Cut the ball end off the replacement string with a pair of wire cutters.
Step 5:Place the freshly cut string end into the center of the saddle and tighten the clamping screw until it is difficult to turn.
Step 6:Thread the other end of the string under its nut clamp and under the string hold down bar, then to the tuning key and tune the string. [Pull on the string until it is tight around the tuning key and retune.]
Step 7:Repeat 2 through 5 until all strings are replaced.
Step 8:Check your tuning on all strings once again.
Step 9:Re-clamp the three nut clamps.
Step 10:Check your tuning once again making any adjustments this time with your fine-tuners only.

STRING TUNING INSTRUCTIONS

Tuning your Floyd Rose bridge is certainly a tricky business when the bridge is floating. This is because the total tension of the strings must balance the total tension of the tremolo springs with the base plate of the bridge parallel to the face of the guitar and with the strings tuned to the desired pitch. So, follow these steps and and it will start to make sense.

Step 1:Loosen the three string clamps at the nut
Step 2:Set your fine tuner screws on the bridge to the middle of their adjustment range.
Step 3:Tune the strings to your desired pitch (this can be drop tuning, open tuning, or standard pitch, the procedure is the same for any tuning) with an electronic tuner starting with the low ‘E’.
Step 4:When you have finished tuning all of the strings, check the tuning on the low ‘E’ again. If the low ‘E’ is now flat, re-tune the strings starting again with the low ‘E’ but this time tune the E, A, D, G, and B strings a little bit sharp, then the high ‘E’ to pitch. If the low ‘E’ is sharp, re-tune as just described only tuning the first five strings a little flat. You must tune the strings a little sharp or flat to get to your tuning because every time you change the tension (or pitch) of one string, the other strings change pitch in the opposite direction.
Step 5:Repeat step 4 until all the strings are at the desired pitch.Step 6:When the strings are at the desired pitch, check to see if the bridge base plate is sitting parallel with the top surface of the guitar. If the base plate is tilted forward away from the body, you must tighten the tremolo springs tension by turning the spring claw screws clockwise and repeat step 4. If the base plate is tilted back toward the body, you must loosen the tremolo springs tension by turning the spring claw screws counterclockwise and repeat step 4.
[Step 6 only needs to be done on initial setup of the bridge or if you change to another gauge of strings or change to a different tuning.]
Step 7:When the bridge is sitting parallel to the face of the guitar and the strings are tuned to the desired pitch, re-clamp the three nut clamps and re-tune (if necessary) once again using only the fine tuners.
Step 8:When tuning is complete, check the action of the strings off the neck. If your action is to high or to low, adjust the action with the two rocker screws (bridge pivot screws) using the 3mm Allen wrench. This adjustment will slightly change your tuning. If your fine tuners run out of range you must repeat steps 1 through 7.

Press-release
Uma Exposição sem Qualidades

A presente exposição de António de Sousa tem como título Uma Exposição sem Qualidades e remete-nos para essa obra maior da literatura do século XX, O Homem sem Qualidades, de Robert Musil. Nessa obra impregnada de ideias, Musil procura superar a dicotomia entre o pensamento e a experiência e evidenciar que não são inconciliáveis. O seu protagonista, Ulrich, acometido pelos mais diversos pensamentos, apresenta-se como um Homem sem propriedades, sem conotações valorativas. Uma entidade cujo ser se encontra disponível para todas as possibilidades e, como tal, aberto à experiência.
António de Sousa acredita que estes pressupostos continuam válidos e pertinentes, plenos na sua operatividade artística. Tem sido, aliás, na fissura existente entre as ideias e a experiência, e no assumir do risco e da concomitante possibilidade de falhar, que o seu trabalho se tem desenvolvido. Partindo dos pressupostos já enunciados, as obras agora apresentadas no espaço Uma Certa Falta de Coerência encontram-se numa particular sintonia com os propósitos dos impulsionadores do projecto expositivo e as condições físicas do espaço.
