Violin Care Tips
Learn to correctly care for your fiddle to protect your investment and ensure your new instrument stays in top condition for longer.
Storage
- When not playing your fiddle, always store it in its hard case with the lid fastened.
- Remember to remove your shoulder rest before storing your instrument.
Temperature
- Like most musical instruments, fiddles hate extremes of temperature and humidity.
- Extremes of temperature or extreme fluctuations of temperature, may cause the wood to warp, affecting your tuning pegs and the intonation of the strings.
Humidity
- Humidity must also be kept constant (not too high, not too low).
- If you live in a very dry climate or somewhere with long, dry Winters, you might want to consider investing in a humidifier.
Extra Care
- Hold the fiddle at the neck, not at the body. Oils in our hands and fingers can damage the finish of the wood.
- Wipe your fiddle down with a dry, microfibre cloth after playing. This will help to prevent a build up of rosin and remove any oils from the body.
- Check the bridge placement before and after tuning.
- Bring your fiddle to a professional luthier to be cleaned. Never try to clean it yourself using water or cleaning products.
