■ Putting the instrument in its case
When closing the case, make sure there are no
objects such as a gauze or cloth on top of the
instrument. Doing so may put unnecessary pressure
on the keys causing damage. Also, never leave a
damp cloth or gauze, etc., in the case.
First, wipe o moisture and dirt from the joints,
then place the headjoint into the case. Store the
headjoint, footjoint and the body in the case, in
that order. Fit it into the case snugly, without forc-
ing.
If you feel the keys are not moving well, use a
special key oil (sold separately.)
