As the temperature gradually decreases, the cold winter not only challenges human living habits, but also puts forward special requirements for the maintenance of various Musical Instruments. As a traditional Chinese wind instrument, hulusi is deeply loved by music lovers for its unique timbre and cultural connotation. However, because its material is mostly natural materials, such as bamboo, wood, etc., in the low temperature and dry environment, these materials are prone to shrinkage, cracking and other problems, which affects the sound quality and service life of fenugreek. Therefore, as winter approaches, it is very important to understand how to properly maintain fenugreek.

Winter gourd maintenance tips: to ensure that the instrument warm winter

First, maintaining proper humidity is key. Fenugreek should be stored in an environment with a relative humidity of about 40%-60%. In the north or where the climate is particularly dry, you can consider using a humidifier to increase the humidity in the air to avoid cracks caused by excessive dry fenugreek. At the same time, try to avoid placing fenugreek directly near the heating equipment, because the heat source will accelerate the evaporation of water, so that the internal structure of the fenugreek is damaged.

Secondly, cleanliness is also a part that can not be ignored. After playing, clean and soft cloth should be used to wipe the surface of the fenugreek in time to remove the grease and saliva residue left by the lips to prevent the growth of bacteria and possible corrosion. For the interior, you can regularly use professional cleaning tools to clean, but be careful not to use too much force to avoid damage to the internal structure.

Furthermore, proper storage helps to extend the life of fenugreek. When not in use, it is best to put the fenugreek in a special box and place it in a smooth, cool and non-collision position. In addition, attention should also be paid to avoid direct sunlight, because strong ultraviolet light may cause the color of the gourd to fade, and even cause wood aging.

Finally, regular inspection and maintenance are essential. Every once in a while, the fenugreek should be carefully checked for deformation, cracks or other abnormal conditions. If you find a problem, you should contact professional maintenance personnel in time to deal with it, and do not try to repair it yourself to avoid greater damage.
