DIY Care for Wooden Instruments

DIY Care for Wooden Instruments

Keep your wooden instruments in top shape with these simple steps:

1. Control Humidity – Keep moisture around 40-60% to prevent cracks or warping. Use a case with a humidity pack if needed.

2. Dust & Wipe – Use a soft cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.

3. Polish Occasionally – Use beeswax or natural wood oil sparingly to keep the wood nourished.

4. Store Safely – Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and AC vents. Use a stand or padded case.

5. Handle with Clean Hands – Oils and dirt from fingers can build up over time.

6. Fix Small Scratches – Use a dab of wood oil or wax to buff out minor marks.

For deep cracks or repairs, see a professional. Keep it simple and consistent, and your instrument will last a lifetime! 🎶
