Instrument Maintenance After Playing
After playing the instrument, use the following procedures to remove moisture and dirt
from the inside of the instrument.
●
Remove the reed, then use a cleaning swab
(sold separately) to clean the inside of the
mouthpiece.
The cleaning swab is also used to clean the
inside of the instrument’s neck and body.

●
When the pads are wet, place a cleaning paper
(sold separately) between the pad and the tone
hole and press the pads lightly to completely
remove the moisture.
●
On baritone saxophones, remove moisture
using the water keys.
●
Use a polishing cloth (sold separately) to wipe
the instrument’s surface.

●
Since the tonehole on the octave key is small
and becomes easily clogged, use a tonehole
cleaner (sold separately) to clean the hole
periodically.
