It is also important to maintain a consistent temperature in the violin case, as sudden changes can also be damaging. For this reason, it is best to avoid leaving the violin in direct sunlight or near a heat source such as a radiator or fireplace.
In addition to temperature, humidity is also important in violin care. The ideal humidity level for a violin is between 40 and 60 percent. This can be achieved by using a humidifier in the violin case, or by keeping the instrument in a room with a humidifier.
