SHELLAC\/FRENCH POLISH<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

A French polish finish is a traditional\/durable way to protect an instrument\u00a0and will last many years. But like all finishes it\u2019s prone to certain weakness. Out of the\u00a0box a hand rubbed finish will not appear like a store bought\u00a0instrument, instead it might have small imperfections, micro-scratches, very small abrasions\u00a0and perhaps slight unevenness in it’s application. It can take a months for a French polish to fully<\/em> harden so particular care needs to be taken in it’s initial usage.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Also because of it’s more delicate nature it\u2019s normal for a french polish to take on small scratches\u00a0and to dull in some areas and shiny in other areas with use. A quick repolishing, by a local luthiery can remove scratches and bring the shiny\u00a0finish back.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Also alcohol, some skin lotions, hand sanitizers and other chemical solutions that come in contact with the finish can remove a French polish on contact and these damages are not covered by the warranty. For care, wipe your ukulele\/guitar off with a soft cloth to get the sweat and body oil off of it everytime after you play. Don\u2019t use any abrasives, strong cleaning products or try to re-polish your finish. Take it to a professional.<\/span><\/p>\n
