1, Harm of Violin Being Damped in Winter

All partners who use the violin know that the violin is a very delicate instrument, and the body of the violin is 95% solid wood. Wood will expand and contract in different climatic environments and be easily damaged, so it should be kept in a suitable environment. Then, do you know what kind of temperature and humidity environment the violin should be stored in?

First of all, the violin is particularly sensitive to dry air and responds quickly to changes in humidity and temperature. If the air environment is relatively dry, it is very unfavorable for the preservation of violins. In a dry environment, the violin is easy to shrink, which will lead to the decrease of strings and the loosening of tuning axis, leading to the opening or even cracking of the piano version; What is more serious is that the panels, backboards and other parts will crack. But it is not feasible to put it in an excessively humid environment, because if wood is stored in a humid environment for a long time, it may lead to mildew or even decay of wood fibers. The air is humid, because the inside of the piano board is not painted, so the water absorbed in the air expands, which leads to the gradual increase of the bridge horse and the decrease of the fingerboard, and more seriously, the neck, fingerboard and piano board are deformed. So is the humidity environment suitable for violin? The ideal relative humidity for violin preservation is 40%-60%. When the relative humidity

▲ Dampness of the violin causes the fingerboard to stay and fall off, the body of the violin expands, the glue is opened and the head of the violin falls off.

▲ Air drying will cause the piano to open, the fingerboard to rise and the panel to crack.

So what kind of temperature is the most suitable for violin? Generally, 20℃ to 25℃ is more suitable for violin. In the dry and cold climate in winter, the timbre of the violin can often be better expressed. The environment above 30℃ is easy to cause the string bolt to jump off, the strings to loosen, the piano body to degum and the fingerboard to deform. Therefore, in winter, never put the violin next to the heater or the air outlet of the air conditioner. Do not let the sun shine directly, nor put it in a dry and cold environment.
