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
