■ About the Icons
Do not throw or swing the instrument when others
are close by.
The headjoint or other parts may fall off hitting other
people. Always treat the instrument gently.
Regarding brass instruments with a plate nish, the color of the nish may change over time. However,
changes in the nish do not affect the instrument’s performance. Discoloration in its early stages can easily
be removed with proper maintenance. (As discoloration progresses, however, it may be difcult to remove.)
* Please use the accessories that are specified for use with the particular type of finish found on the instrument. Also, metal
polishes remove a thin layer of the finish’s top coat which will make the finish thinner. Please be aware of this before using
polish.
Keep small parts out of the reach of infants.
Your children may accidentally swallow them.
Keep the oil, polish, etc., out of children’s mouths.
Keep the oil, polish, etc., out of children’s reach and only
do maintenance when children are not present.
