 e joint sections in particular tend to collect
moisture, which can cause cracking. Dry the
joints carefully with gauze.

If you feel the keys are not moving well, use a
special key oil (sold separately). Do not apply
too much oil. Completely wipe any excess oil
from the key surfaces.

Use a tone hole cleaner to remove dirt from in-
side the tone holes and the spaces between and
underneath the keys. Be careful not to damage
the springs or pads.

Use cleaning paper to remove dirt and moisture
from the pads. In particular, the octave tone

removed as soon as possible.

from the body interior as frequently as pos-
sible.

Keep the cleaning swab clean and dry.
