Viola Care Tips
To keep your viola in excellent condition and ensure it maintains its best sound, we recommend the following care tips:
Storage: Store your viola in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity, as these can affect the wood.
Cleaning: Wipe down your viola regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust and rosin build-up. Avoid touching the varnish with your fingers.
String Care: Check your strings for wear and replace them when necessary. Avoid over-tightening, as this can stress the instrument.
Bow Maintenance: Always loosen the bow hair after playing and re-hair the bow when needed to maintain smooth performance.
