Some good tips:
• Be careful when handling your clarinet. Adagio has finely crafted this
instrument to high standards.
• Always clean and dry your clarinet after playing.
• Place each section back in the correct compartment in the Case.
• Use cork grease on each tenon before assembling your clarinet. DO NOT
overdo it however.
• Use a gentle back and forth motion when putting together or taking apart
your clarinet sections.
• Place the Cap over the Mouthpiece after you have removed the reed.
• DO NOT force the sections into the Case.
• DO NOT close the lid if it seems difficult. Something is not in its proper place.
• DO NOT eat while playing. A small bit of food you may not even notice
can get lodged under a key and prevent it from closing properly which
will render your clarinet either out of tune, or not playable.
• DO NOT turn the clarinet sections around and around. This will accomplish
nothing but possibly damage a part. Always use a twisting back and forth
motion to seat the sections together.
• DO NOT press hard on the keys or rods when handling them. They should
close easily.
• DO NOT touch the tip of the Reed. If you damage it, you will have to replace
it. Playing with a damaged reed will either not play, or make squeaky sounds.
When playing with other musicians
The best musicians are those that can master their instrument to express
themselves. Being a good listener is also one of the best assets a musi-
cian can have. If you play with others, listen to what they are also playing
so that you can find your “fit” and blend in to the music you are all making
together. Making Music is one of the most rewarding things you can do
for yourself
