Cleaning

Keeping your instrument clean is a very important and often overlooked task! Grease, grime and rosin build up on instruments as they are handled and played, and can quickly affect the sound by dampening vibrations. 
​
At 23 Violins we offer instrument cleaning and maintenance services, including set up adjustment to suit you and string trialling.
