How do I take care of my cello?

Date & Time: Saturday, June 14, 2025, 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Location: Vellinge Cultural School

Welcome to an inspiring and informative lecture on cello care! Here you will get answers to the most common questions about caring for your cello and how to best take care of it to preserve both its sound and playability.


Some of the topics Nadine covers:

  • Cleaning – how do I keep the varnish and fretboard clean? Can I wash the cello with water?

  • Strings – when and how should they be changed? What should I consider when changing strings?

  • The stable – what do I do if it is bent? What angle should it have?

  • The fretboard – why does it need to be sanded?

  • The influence of climate – how seasonal changes can change the sound and function of the cello

  • Wolf tones – what are they, why do they occur, and how can I deal with them?

  • Bridge models and heights – how do they affect the sound and playability?

  • The string – what do I do if it doesn’t work properly?

Of course, there is also room for your own questions!
