Things You'll Need:
- Cello
- Damp cloth
- Cello polish
- Cello case
-
Step 1
Expect a cello to get a heavy amount of rosin built up on the front of it, near the strings.
-
Step 2
Dampen a cloth with water. Rub it on the front surface of the cello, using circular motions.
-
Step 3
Rub the wet cloth down the length of the strings. Removing the rosin will allow for the best tone and vibration.
-
Step 4
Dab a small amount of cello polish to the damp cloth. This will seal and protect the wood. Rub the polish into the front of the cello.
-
Step 5
Lay the cello on its side when storing it for a short period of time. The best bet is to put it next to something like a wall, so it doesn't get knocked over.
-
Step 6
Put the cello in a case when you're storing it for a long period of time. You can choose between a hard or soft-surface case.
-
Step 7
Slide it into the case, tie it down and secure the clip.
