I dislike the feeling of greasy oir dirty hands, which may seem odd as at this time of the year, they are frequently up to my elbows in compost and soil, as we plant our crops out.
I like clean new strings, and clean instruments.
Further, due to a relatively recently diagnosed chronic lung disease, I have to do all I can to avoid infections - colds, flu etc., and so as playing seems to necessitate lots of hand shaking, kissy/huggy women etc., I wash as frequently as I can.
