Instrument Maintenance ■ 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. * To prevent damage to the end of the mouthpiece, do not pull the swab all the way through the mouthpiece. * Always keep the cleaning swab clean and dry. ● On baritone saxophones, remove moisture using the water keys. ● Use a polishing cloth to wipe the instrument's surface. * When wiping be careful not to apply excessive force on the keys or damage the pads. * Take care not to let the polishing cloth get caught on the pin springs, etc. ● Since the tonehole on the octave key is small and becomes easily clogged, use a tonehole cleaner (sold separately) to clean the hole periodically. ● 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. 15
