Since musical instruments play an important role in cultural music, they have various aspects of conceptual functions related to their approach and have meaningful differences with other historical and cultural works of art. Apart from discussing common arguments in conservation and restoration, getting favorable results is due to knowing the concepts related to music. In classical interpretations conservation, were truth protection and manifestation material assets, but in the contemporary era, conservation is considered a simplifying factor in people`s understanding. The purpose of present study is to know and consider different dimensions of readability in musical instruments (especially sound output) and finally, there is an explanation of conservation and restoration approaches leading to better readability and understanding of the issue. Therefore, this important question arises: which dimension of readability in conservation and restoration process make the issue understandable to audiences? For this purpose, meanwhile introducing various dimensions of musical instruments, conservation and amending approaches to understanding is reached through the ideas prevailing in conservation and restoration research field. After collecting resources and documents in theoretical areas related to conservation, restoration and music, the results will be analyzed through qualitative methods. The study reveals that before any conservation-restoration intervention, it is necessary to be aware of the various aspects of readability in musical instruments (based on the various values available in the instruments) and conservation and restoration process must be reached through a balance between least amount of intervention and the most amount of readability.
