Stringed Instrument Maintenance for Musicians

Course Overview

We all know the myths but what are the facts concerning your prized instruments? How does cold effect my guitar? Do I have to change strings one at a time? What should I use to clean my Mandolin? Why won’t my banjo play in tune? Knowing how to use and take care of your stringed instrument properly will save you money and protect your investment. Dave Seaton is a luthier who does lots of repairs on stringed instruments, many of which could have been avoided with proper maintenance. This will be an interactive class with lots of discussion around the instruments and issues presented.
