Do not store your violin in extreme hot or cold locations. If you live in a dry climate, you may want to consider using a humidifier made for violins (excessive dryness can cause cracking or the seams of your violin to open).
Put a small amount of rosin on your bow before playing. Hold the rosin in your left hand, place the bow hairs flat on the rosin and slowly move the bow back and forth on the rosin.
Tighten your bow before playing by gently turning the tension screw. Avoid making the bow hairs too taut---the separation between the bow stick and hair should be about the width of a pencil.
Polish is rarely needed, and when necessary, only a commercial violin polish should be used. Cleaning the violin with furniture polish and/or water could damage the varnish and acoustics of the violin (water could also cause the violin seams to open).
After playing the violin, gently clean it with a soft cloth to remove rosin build-up on the strings.Keep a soft cloth in your violin case.Rosin will eat away the finish and leave it rough-looking.
Loosen the hair on your bow before putting it back in the case. If always kept tight, they will pull the bow out of the line.
