Taking Care of Your Instrument

Please follow the guidelines set out below to prolong the lifetime of your violin or viola.

• Be careful when transporting the instrument.

Make sure the instrument is handled with care

and is not subjected to any rough treatment,

like bumping against other objects or drop-

ping the instrument.

• Exposing the instrument and/or bow to certain

environments, particularly sudden changes

of temperature, may cause severe damage.

Please take the necessary precautions to pro-

tect 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 tempera-

tures, such as during the summer and winter

months, can be harmful to both the instrument

and bow.

• Make sure you regularly clean your instru-

ment with a soft, dry cloth. Never use ben-

zene, alcohol, or thinner. Never use aerosol

cans, or any other sprays, within the vicinity

of the instrument. These will damage the lac-

quer and general condition of the instrument.

• Prior to shipping the instrument has been ad-

justed and is ready for use. However, should

you feel that additional adjustments are need-

ed please contact your local Yamaha dealer, as

some alterations require specialist skills.

• Ensure that you loosen the bow hair before

you put it away in your case after playing.

• To prevent contact, always maintain suf-

ﬁ cient distance between yourself and other

people/objects when playing the instrument.

The shape of the bow is capable of causing

harm if care is not taken at all times.

Safety Tips

Please consider the following points of safety.

• Plated parts such as the adjusters, metal

brackets on the neck support, etc., may tarnish

over time due to the makeup of the metal plat-

ing. This, however, will have no inﬂ uence on

the performance of these parts. When tarnish

ﬁ rst appears, cleaning carried out in normal

maintenance and care may be enough to re-

move the tarnish. (If the tarnish progresses

normal cleaning may not be sufﬁ cient.)

• As the instrument and many of its parts are

made of natural wood, there may be some

cases, where objects that come in contact with

the wood (hands, parts of the body, cleaning

cloth, etc.) may become discolored. Color on

body parts is not harmful to your health but

you should wash and remove it with water.

We can not be held responsible for discolor-

ation of clothing, etc., or the discoloration of

the wood.

This Yamaha violin is finished with a

high-quality oil varnish that is well suited

for the instrument's acoustic characteris-

tics. As the oil ﬁ nish is soft, high tempera-

tures and high humidity can soften the

ﬁ nish further sometimes causing the cloth

inside of the case to stick to the violin (it

will not harm the violin's performance or

durability). Please avoid storing the vio-

lin in places susceptible to high tempera-

tures and/or high humidity. Also, to keep

the instrument clean, use a soft cloth to

remove smudges and dirt after use.

• If possible, hold your bow still when not in

use. Do not swing, throw or engage in any

other movements that could potentially cause

damage to other people/objects, or to the

bow itself.

• Take care not to pinch your hands or fin-

gers when closing the case.
