Pure Sound Wax was developed by Josh Rivera of Rivera Steel Tuning for the specific application of Handpan rust protection. It is designed to offer an alternative to oils as it is odorless and made from all natural ingredients, specifically petroleum free.
It is harder to apply than oils, however it provides a much more natural finish on the instrument, helping to maximise the sustain. Most oil products have varying degrees of dampening effects on the sound, this wax has been shown to have the least impact.

Applying the wax takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes, however note that the instrument must be left to sit overnight during the process to allow the wax to dry and absorb into the pores of the steel. As recommended by Rivera Steel Tuning, apply every couple of months. However this will depend on the material the instrument is made from, how well it is cared for, the climate the instrument lives in and how often it is played.
As with all products it is up to the instrument owner to decide how often to apply care products. If in doubt, contact us or your relevant instrument manufacturer for more details.
Doing regular spot checks will help to keep on top of any rust or discolouration developing.
