In order to keep your beloved dulcimer in good condition and prolong its life as much as possible, it is essential to give it careful care and maintenance.

First of all, pay attention to moisture: Putting the dulcimer in a damp place will easily cause the strings to rust. Sun protection: Do not put the dulcimer in a place with strong sunlight, otherwise it will not only cause the strings to run, but also crack the panel and reduce the service life. Antifreeze: Do not put the dulcimer in a place that is too cold, the body of the violin will be deformed when it freezes, affecting its service life. Anti-baking: Don't put the dulcimer next to the heater, especially in the winter in the north. Shockproof: Avoid collisions and bumps, especially when handling. Anti-pressure: Do not place heavy objects on the dulcimer, which will not only cause the strings to run, but also break the strings and bridges. Dust-proof: Clean the dust on the body frequently. If there is too much dust, it will not only affect the vibration of the panel, but also bring noise. You should cover the dulcimer when you are not playing.

In order to maintain the average tension of the strings, the balls should not be moved easily except for tuning, and should develop a good habit of tuning the strings at any time and establishing a fixed pitch.

The pitch of the piano must be kept at 440 Hz, and it cannot be low-load or high-load for a long time, which can also be said to be a taboo on the use of the instrument. In addition, when the strings are broken or the strings are loose or black, they should be completed or replaced in time, and attention should be paid to the tuning of the strings. When there is a noise, it should be dealt with in time.
