Spring is just around the corner, and with a new season approaching it makes sense to keep our instruments optimally playable. Give your instrument some love, \u2764\ufe0f whatever instrument you play, if you treat it right and take care of it, it will last you a long time, while also retaining its value in the long term. Here are a few care tips for you!<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Guitar and Bass \u2013 deep clean and routine setup<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cleaning this type of instrument is an absolute must. The body of the guitar or bass should be cleaned regularly with a slightly damp cloth. With lacquered instruments, however, you have to be careful not to damage the lacquer. All instruments with a nitro finish are treated with solvent-free care products, and you should also use sensible polishing cloths, not scraps from old T-shirts, which will drive you crazy with their dust and, in the worst case, also cause ugly scratches in the finish.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
