Tuning
Since changes in temperature and humidity have an effect on the instrument’s pitch, blow some air through the instrument to warm it up before tuning.
1.
Check the position of the tone reflector.
As slippage in the tone reflector’s position can effect the instru-
ment’s intonation, its position should be checked periodically.
Checking the position
Using the supplied cleaning rod accessory, insert it into the head-
joint and make sure that the line on the cleaning rod is centered
in the embouchure hole.
Should it be off center, either right or left, follow the instruc-
tions given on the next page to properly position the tone
reflector.
