Roosebeck Balalaika Owner's Manual

Instrument Care

Many of our musical instruments use a shellac or lacquer finish.

Here are some simple steps to care for these instruments:

- Avoid extremes of temperature and humidity.

- Avoid leaving in direct sunlight for long periods of time.

- Avoid solvents, such as alcohol or acetone.

- Avoid placing objects on top of your musical instrument.

- Avoid using abrasives that may scratch the finish.

- For regular dusting, a dry soft cloth is best.

- Use a quality furniture polish or furniture oil when

needed.

- Store your instrument inside a carry case to help protect

against dust and accidental damage.

Instruments with unfinished, or raw, wood parts require special

care. These items may be more prone to damage from extremes

in temperature and humidity. Heat, sunlight, and overly damp

or dry conditions may cause warping or cracking. A clear or

neutral paste wax may be used to protect raw wooden parts with

minimal change to the sound quality.
