Maintenance Tips

Some tips to help keep your instrument in tip top playing shape.

1. Never place your book on top of your instrument inside the case. This can damage the instrument and void your warranty. Place it in the pocket where your supplies are kept.

2. Do not expose your instrument to extreme heat or cold other than very briefly in transit. If this does happen, DO NOT open the case. Place the instrument in a moderate temperature zone and allow at least 2 hours prior to opening the case.

3. Swab out your sax to remove most moisture prior to putting it away.

4. Do not use any abrasive cleaners. Generally a slightly moistened soft cloth will remove most smudges.

5. Replace reeds when they become chipped or broken.

6. Keep your mouthpiece cap on when it is in the case to protect it from breakage and chipping.

7. Replace the black end cap when you are done playing.
