Frequently Asked Questions

Which sandpaper grit should I use?

Use a grit appropriate for the material and task. Coarser grits remove material faster, while finer grits smooth and refine the surface.

Can sandpaper be used on lacquered instruments?


Only when the repair procedure calls for it. Test carefully and use an appropriate fine abrasive to avoid removing more finish than intended.

Should I move directly from coarse to very fine sandpaper?


It is usually better to progress through suitable intermediate grits so scratches from the previous abrasive are removed evenly.

About The Collection


Shop sandpaper and abrasives for smoothing, preparing and finishing compatible musical instrument components. Different grit levels support different stages of repair, from controlled material removal and surface preparation to fine finishing between polishing or coating steps. Choose the abrasive according to the material, existing finish and desired result. Lower grit numbers remove material more aggressively, while higher numbers create a finer surface. Work gradually, protect surrounding areas and remove abrasive residue before applying adhesive, lacquer or another finish. Always confirm that the selected abrasive is appropriate for the instrument surface.
