Use maintenance timelines in Sonority to log past work (string changes, setups, services) and get alerts before important instruments are due for attention, especially ahead of tours.


Long Answer

Maintenance timelines in Sonority exist so you never have to guess when an instrument was last serviced. For each instrument or piece of gear, you can record key maintenance events like string changes, setups, fretwork, electronics repairs, tube swaps, or full services, along with dates and notes. Over time this builds a service history that’s useful for reliability, resale, and insurance.

When you add or edit an instrument, you can set recommended maintenance intervals—such as how often you like to change strings on a main touring guitar, or how often a backline amp should be checked. Sonority then uses those intervals, combined with your last recorded maintenance dates, to surface which items are coming due. This is particularly helpful before rehearsals, recording blocks, or tours, where failures are expensive and stressful.

Alerts can be surfaced inside the app and, where enabled, via notifications, highlighting instruments that need attention soon or are already overdue. When you’re building a tour, you can quickly see which instruments in that tour have upcoming or overdue maintenance and plan bench time or tech work before leaving. The result is fewer on‑stage surprises and a clear log you can share with techs or buyers to show how well an instrument has been cared for.
