Maintenance

Cabinet

The cabinet is finished partly with wood veneer and partly with solid wood.
The cabinet can be wiped with an ordinary, moist cloth or chamois and polish with a dry non-
fluffy cloth.
We advise against using teak oil, because this will damage the varnish. Direct sunlight may
discolour the cabinet. This especially applies to natural wood.

Keyboards

When your instrument is fitted with synthetic keyboards, you can treat the keys as the
cabinet. Tiny scratches on the keys, formed in the long run by playing the instrument, can
be removed with the help of car polish. NEVER try to remove spots with corrosive fluids such
as thinner, acetone, etc.. This will irrevocably damage the keyboards of your instrument.

Pipes

When your instrument has a pipe front, we advise you to touch the pipes never. The acid of
human skin will corrode the pipes made of an alloy of tin and lead, irrevocably.
The tin lead alloy is very soft material. Dusting the pipes, even if a soft cloth is used for this,,
will irrevocably leave tiny scratches on the surface.
If the labia of the pipes are gold plated, they should not be touched dusted or sponged
either. This will cause the thin layer of gold paint on the labia to be damaged irreparably.
