Hi,

The title is basically all I'm asking.
You see, I've had my violin for around six months now, and besides cleaning the rosen of the body with a soft cloth and the fingerboad once with a soft cloth before restringing, I haven't really cleaned it properly. Recently, I've noticed the fingerboad looks a little dirty (though I do, when I rembered, wash my hands before playing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ). So, I was wondering, should I clean it? If so, what is best to clean it with? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Thanks in advance,
LG
