■
Setting the Mouthpiece
Insert the mouthpiece until it just fits snugly and
is no longer loose in the leadpipe.
■
Tuning the Instrument
Slide the main tuning slide in or out to tune the
instrument. Since temperatures have an effect
on the instrument’s pitch, blow some warm air
through the instrument to warm up the instru-
ment before tuning.
Mouthpiece
* NEVER force the mouthpiece into the
leadpipe, or hit it. The mouthpiece may
become stuck in the leadpipe.
