Maintenance 6 Maintenance 6.1 Changing strings Strings are subject to a natural aging process, which is also affected by the frequency of use of the instrument. Changing the strings is recommended if the sound quality of the instrument decreases audibly. Always replace the complete set of strings (strings of 3/4 length) and always go string by string. In this way you avoid a strong temporary bending of the neck due to reduced string tension.
