Ya know that is one of the things I keep wanting to update. Skip the Violin Varnish, unless it is in very bad condition (eg. big cracks, very dry). If the finish is intact, you can get away with just pledge or other antique furniture polish. The Varnish is more applicable for really poor condition pieces that need to be re-done. Useful for me, because I buy mainly only junky pieces, but if you buy quality, well you dont have the same problem.

If it a nice piece, you could use "Renaissance Wax". Good for leather, wood, metal. I use it. (I sound like a cheap comercial

).

Ive become very enamoured with pledge lately for wood. Nothing to harsh, safe for many types of finish, and above all cheap and relatively easy to get. Ive been meaning to give RenWax a try, but Ive become far too absent minded in the care of my blades.

I keep telling myself one day Ill go through everything, and fix stuff. Oh well...
