Caution
1. Be careful when transporting the instrument. Make sure the instrument is handled
with care and is not subjected to any rough treatment, like bumping against
other objects or dropping the instrument.
2. Exposing the instrument and/or bow to certain environments, particularly
sudden changes of temperature, may cause severe damage. Please take the
necessary precautions to protect your instrument against the following:
⚫
Direct sunlight.
⚫
Excessively high or low temperatures.
⚫
Excessively high or low humidity.
⚫
Excessive dust or strong vibration.
3. Avoid leaving the instrument in a car for any extended period of time. Extreme
temperatures, such as during the summer and winter months, can be harmful to
both the instrument and bow.
4. Make sure you regularly clean your instrument with a soft, dry cloth. Never use
benzene, alcohol, or thinner. Never use aerosol cans, or any other sprays, within
the vicinity of the instrument. These will damage the lacquer and general
condition of the instrument.
5. Ensure that you loosen the bow hair before you put it away in your case after
playing.
6. Plated parts such as the adjusters, metal brackets on the neck support, etc., may
tarnish over time due to the makeup of the metal plating. This, however, will have
no influence on the performance of these parts. When tarnish first appears,
cleaning carried out in normal maintenance and care may be enough to
remove the tarnish. (If the tarnish progresses normal cleaning may not be
sufficient.)
7. As the instrument and many of its parts are made of natural wood, there may
be some cases, where objects that come in contact with the wood (hands, parts
of the body, cleaning cloth, etc.) may become discolored. Color on body parts
is not harmful to your health but you should wash and remove it with water. We
cannot be held responsible for discoloration of clothing, etc., or the
discoloration of the wood.
