Cleaning the strings of a stringed instrument
Rosin dust settles on the strings every time you play and makes them stick together. Cleaning the strings of the stringed instrument is worthwhile after every playing: It looks much better and prevents the response of the strings from deteriorating. It also avoids having to clean the strings and fingerboard frequently with solvents.
Cleaning strings properly: this is how it's done
The right cloth for the strings
It is also helpful to wash a cloth from time to time to remove rosin residues from the cloth fibres. But a hand wash is also sufficient.
Fluffy cloths are not advisable because the fluff gets caught in the fine tension around the strings and then prevents the string from vibrating freely.
Where do the cloths come from?
The cloths were designed by ema-Musik.eu especially for us.
