The cleaning of the cello

Compared with the violin, the strings of the cello generally do not need to be specially wiped. If it is to keep the strings clean, you can directly use a clean and soft cotton cloth and slowly wipe the strings clean. However, like the bow of a violin, the bow of a cello also needs to be cleaned and rubbed with rosin, which helps to increase the friction between the strings and the bow.

The hair on the bow of the cello is generally made of horsetail. The reason is that the surface of the ponytail looks smooth. It is difficult to make a sound if you directly rub the bow hair and the strings, and the role of the rosin is to increase friction. After wiping the rosin on the bow hair, rosin particles may attach to the bow hair. If there is friction between the bow hair and the string, the particles of rosin will increase the friction between the two. At this time, under the interaction, the string will emit a beautiful sound.

When applying rosin to the bow hair, be sure to apply it evenly. Both ends and inside and outside of the bow hair need to be coated with rosin, especially after each performance, the rosin attached to the bow hair will inevitably fall on the cello panel or the strings. At this time, it is necessary to carefully clean the cello and slowly wipe the strings with a clean and soft cotton cloth.

The adjustment of the cello

In order to make an instrument display its sound quality most effectively, the adjustment of the instrument is very important. The term "adjustment" means a variety of changes, including the height, or the distance from the surface of the panel to the plane of the fingerboard that is supposed to be extended. This height determines the angle between the strings and the code and then affects the force exerted by the strings on the instrument panel. There is also the distance from the string to the fingerboard, which affects the performance and resistance of the string. Other adjustments include the shape and height of the tail pillow and the chord pillow, the distance between the strings, and the selection of the strings. The adjustment aspects that have a direct and significant impact on the sound and performance of the instrument include the cutting of the horse, the fastening and installation of the position of the sound column, the height of the string above the fingerboard, and the selection and/or state of the string.
