Taking Care of Your Instrument
Please follow the guidelines set out below to prolong the lifetime of your violin.
• Be careful when transporting the in-
strument. 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.
• Only use the violin and bow indoors.
• Exposing the instrument to certain envi-
ronments, particularly sudden changes
of temperature, may cause severe dam-
age. Please take the necessary precau-
tions to protect your instrument against
the following:
• Direct sunlight.
• Excessively high or low temperatures.
• Excessively high or low humidity.
• Excessive dust or strong vibration.
• Avoid leaving the instrument in a car for
any extended period of time. Extreme
temperatures, such as during the sum-
mer and winter months, can be harmful
to the instrument.
• 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 gen-
eral condition of the instrument.
• Prior to shipping the instrument has
been adjusted and is ready for use.
However, should you feel that additional
adjustments are needed please contact
your local Yamaha dealer, as some al-
terations require specialist skills.
• Do not attempt to modify or alter the
instrument. It may make repair impos-
sible.
