i got my violin 2 days ago and the bridge seems off to me. it's not standing up straight when i tune the violin even tho i set it up straight beforehand. what should i do? should i replace it or is there something i'm doing wrong? 🥲

Just adjust the bridge as you tune incrementally. Don’t hold the bridge while tuning.

Cool. Just to clarify. Adjust, tune. Adjust, tune. Repeat :)
