- Keep your instrument dry and protected from moisture
- Avoid extreme heat, cold, or direct sunlight
- Handle with care and store in its protective case when not in use
- For wood or delicate finishes, use approved care products only
- Have your instrument professionally serviced or tuned periodically
Taking a few moments to care for your instrument helps preserve its beauty, tone, and performance for years to come.
