Cleaning
Cleaning the Chingi is an important part of maintaining the instrument and ensuring that it produces high-quality sound. Here are some steps you can follow to clean your Chingi:
-
Dust the instrument: Use a soft cloth or duster to gently wipe down the glass tubes and wooden frame, removing any dust or debris that may have accumulated on the surface.
-
Clean the ropes: Use a dry cloth to wipe down the ropes, removing any dirt or grime that may have accumulated on them.
-
Clean the glass tubes: Use a damp cloth to gently clean the glass tubes, being careful not to get water inside the tubes. Dry the tubes thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth to prevent water spots from forming.
By following these steps, you can keep your Chingi looking and sounding great for years to come. Additionally, it's important to store the instrument in a dry, cool place when not in use to protect it from moisture and other environmental factors that can cause damage.
