Check the tone reflector position
As slippage in the tone reflector position can affect the
instrument’s intonation, its position should be checked pe-
riodically.
How to check the tone reflector position
Using the supplied cleaning rod accessory, insert it into the
headjoint and make sure that the line on the cleaning rod is
centered in the embouchure hole.
NOTE
* When adjusting the tone reflector position Adjusting the
tone reflector’s position requires high skill and should be
done by your local dealer from whom you purchased the
instrument.
* If the head cap is loose, turn it until it is sufficiently tight.
Do not over-tighten the head cap, as it may cause the posi-
tion of the reflector to move.
