Care Instructions

• Wipe the cello after each playing session with a soft, dry cloth to remove rosin dust and perspiration
• Store in its bag when not in use to protect from dust, bumps, and sudden changes in temperature or humidity
• Check the bridge occasionally and ensure it remains upright and properly positioned, especially after tuning
• Use the endpin anchor during playing to help keep the cello stable on the floor
• Replace strings when needed, typically every 6–12 months depending on playing frequency and use
• Loosen bow hair after each playing session to maintain the bow's camber and prevent unnecessary strain on the stick
• Clean bow regularly by wiping rosin dust from the stick with a soft, dry cloth
• Avoid touching bow hair with fingers, as skin oils reduce grip on the strings
• Fold and store the music stand in its carrying bag when not in use to protect it during storage and transport
