The requirements for polishing musical instruments
The parts of a musical instrument are numerous, made of many different materials, and require a perfect mirror finish
Wind instruments, string instruments, percussion instruments… all the instruments of the orchestra must be polished during their manufacturing process and throughout their life.
This gives them a perfect shine, giving the orchestra its full brilliance.
The manufacturer as well as the person in charge of the maintenance of the instrument master these specific skills (polishing, beveling, lapping, polishing, grinding and finishing), for which MERARD has developed high quality polishing compounds and buffing mops.
The polishing of a musical instrument can be manual or robotized. It concerns all metals, precious, copper, ferrous and non-ferrous, as well as all plastic surfaces, acetate, plexiglass, but also wood, scales, ivory and others...
each musical instrument REQUIRES UNIQUE KNOW-HOW to meet the characteristics of each material.
