â– Putting the instrument in its
case
First, wipe off moisture and dirt from the joints,
then place the headjoint into the case. Fit it into
the case snugly, without forcing.
Ointments or creams containing sulfur (for acne, etc.) coming in contact
with the metal on the instrument can cause discoloration (the metal turns
black or brown) of the silver or silver plate. To prevent this, make sure that
both hands and face are clean before playing.
Key cap
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 pres-
sure on the keys causing damage. Also, never
leave a damp cloth or gauze, etc., in the case.
For instruments with ring key caps, take care
not to loosen the caps. These can be freely re-
moved or replaced to change the instrument’s
tonal character as you please.
