Dirty Violin/Clean Violin

I just cleaned a Violin over the past few days. Here are the before and after photos. That was a hard job, rewarding though. I is worthwhile to get the instrument serviced ones a year if you are a professional player or a bit less often if you don’t play as much.

Wiping your Violin with a microfiber cloth after playing will keep it cleaner for much longer. Please never user any cleaners not even violin cleaners, they very often make the varnish sticky and so make the dirt stick even more to the violin.A violin after it has been cleaned in Ilja Grawert Violin shop in BrisbaneA Violin to be cleaned in the Ilja Grawert Violin shop in Brisbane

      Hi Davina
      I do always try many different ways to clean violins starting with the most gentle way, and slowly working my way up to more strong agents.
      But the most important ingredient is my 29 years of experience, because it is very easy to accidentally remove the varnish of an instrument damaging it beyond repair.
      Thank you for your interest
