After Playing
Instrument Maintenance after
Playing
After playing, always loosen the ligature
and remove the reed from the mouth-
piece then wipe dry with gauze. Remove
the ligature from the mouthpiece as well.
• Take care not to damage the end of
the mouthpiece.
Remove the mouthpiece from the
instrument and clean the inside of the
mouthpiece with a soft cloth. Clean the
inside of the instrument with the sup-
plied cleaning swab.
Using the Cleaning Swab
1 Insert the end of ball chain of the
swab into the body from the neck
joint of the instrument.
2 Gently shake the instrument so that
the ball chain comes out of the oppo-
site end.
3 Pull on the ball chain gently so that
the cleaning swab can remove mois-
ture and dirt from the inside of the
body.
• Pulling the cleaning swab too fast can
result in the swab becoming stuck in
the body.
• Always keep the cleaning swab clean
and dry.
Use a soft cloth to wipe the instrument’s
surface. Take care to avoid applying
excessive force on the keys.
Both the mouthpiece and body are
washable. After washing, please use a
cleaning swab or a soft cloth to thor-
oughly remove moisture.
Putting the Instrument in the
Case
When placing the instrument in the
case, refer to page 7 and make sure
that the mouthpiece is attached straight
onto the body. Make sure that the
mouthpiece is properly attached to
avoid the possibility of damage to the
instrument.
The slide locks on the case lid (A)
slightly protrude from the case. Take
care that your clothing or the cleaning
swab do not get caught hooked on one
of the locks and cause the case or
instrument to fall.
