Sudden changes in temperature can damage your instrument. Get to the gig early and leave your instrument in its case for a while, then take it out and let it come to temperature. And always remember to cool down in the same way.
The busiest time in the musical calendar is now upon us. Whether you're performing in carol concerts, Christmas parties, shopping events or busking in the street, it’s a freezing time of year to be performing.
We’ve created this guide to help you prepare for performing in the cold, so you can protect yourself and your instrument.
