Our "Finger-Protect" is a tried and tested skin care product for dry and rough skin. Apply our "Finger-Protect" regularly to protect your finger tips against blisters or soreness and to keep them soft and nourished. |
CLEAN YOUR STRINGS REGULARY In order to get the very best sound and response quality you should remove any remaining rosin from the string. During breaks in playing, we recommend that you wipe off any remaining rosin from the string with a soft cloth.

STRING OIL You can also apply a little bit of string oil to the strings at the fingerboard area. Use the string oil sparingly – a small drop on the cloth is enough.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION FOR GUT STRINGS Gut strings should not be exposed to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity. This can contribute especially to a reduced lifespan for the string. After playing, we usually recommend that you tune the strings down to a 1/4 tone lower. You should certainly do this before the instrument is transported in an airplane, where humidity drops dramatically and the strings can draw together and, as a result, break. Gut strings are optimally stored at 45% humidity. |
PEG MAINTENANCE

USE OF ROSIN Rosin should be used regularly though sparingly. As a general rule, it is enough to coat the bow once during any practice period. Be careful to apply rosin evenly across the whole length of the bow. This will ensure a good response when played at the frog and tip-end of the bow. Take care that your fingers don’t get covered with rosin and use the cloth provided with all Pirastro rosins. |
