Greetings all,
i am a beginner violinist and i recently switched to a better violin which costs about 1300 $.and it has a oiled varnish and the person who sold me the violin was a luthier and said the varnish is very sensitive and take care of the instrument by cleaning so as instructed i did clean each day with a dry cloth entire violin. I start to see some fingerprints appear on back of the violin which i cannot remove its like sunken into the varnish. This make me very nervous to touch the violin and practice it would damage the violin. I can see a big difference in my playing compared to the violin which i used to own. What should i do to overcome of this fear and how do i remove those marks is that a normal thing. Your help is highly apricated .

Hi, @vibaviattigala. I am not knowledgeable of your issue, but I am sure someone here will chime in. If I don't see any responses soon, I will send out an SOS for you, 😁, so you get the assistance you need.
In the meantime, welcome BACK to the forum. Since things have changed quite a bit since your last visit, I am going to send you an email with forum information for you. You will also receive an email address so you can contact forum admin (me at the moment) if you have any issues.
I am watching this topic and will send out the SOS if I don't see any responses to solve your issue. I have an idea of why it is, but since I really don't know for aure and am just relying on what I have read, I don't feel safe answering this for you.
Again, Welcome Back!

Congratulations on your new violin!
I would just contact the Luthier you bought your violin from, directly. He should know everything about it.
You certainly don't want to be afraid to touch your instrument!
I don't have that issue, mine is Carbon composite - virtually indestructible. (lol)
