Although mahogany is precious, it is also wood, and wood is prone to rot if it is exposed to moisture for a long time. Therefore, don't keep the mahogany pipa in the warehouse, but place it in a place with better air circulation, but avoid long-term direct sunlight.

If the mahogany pipa is placed indoors, its temperature must be considered. As a special wood, if the indoor temperature is too high, the mahogany pipa will deform, so proper humidification is necessary. Buy a humidifier to humidify the room during the dry seasons of fall and winter. But it should be noted that the humidification should not be too much. If the mahogany absorbs too much water, it will expand and crack.

How to maintain the mahogany lute

As a pipa, if it is placed at home for a long time, it will inevitably become dusty. If it is too dirty, it is best to use a dry cotton cloth to wipe it. Do not use chemical detergents such as dishwashing liquid to wipe it, which will damage the paint film on the surface of the mahogany lute. If you want to wax and polish, you should also use natural wax, and it is best to do it under the guidance of experts, and you must not wax blindly yourself.

At the same time, use a dry cotton cloth to wipe the sweat on the strings and the body of the piano in time after each practice. The front panel is wiped with cotton cloth, and the back panel needs to be wiped with some furniture wax or car wax. The piano is your own partner. Remember To take good care and maintenance, he will serve you better!

Made of wood or bamboo, the speaker is half-pear-shaped and has four strings on the top. It was originally made of silk thread, but now it is mostly made of steel wire, steel rope and nylon.
