Advice on Care & Security

Looking after your musical instrument

  • Always return the instrument to its protective case when not being played.
  • Make sure the case is securely fastened when you are carrying your musical instrument.
  • Don't leave your musical instrument where it can be knocked or sat on either by people or animals!
  • Take care to store musical instruments in a place of even temperature. Humidity and extremes of temperature are not instrument friendly.
  • Clean your musical instrument with care and where appropriate in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Make sure your musical instrument has an annual check-up with your retailer or repairer.
  • Have your musical instrument professionally valued at least once every three years. Following the valuation make sure you review your insurance policy to ensure your sums insured are up to date.
