Before You Play Setting the Reed and Ligature Slide the mouthpiece onto the body's neck, turning from side to side. After attaching the mouthpiece, set the reed and ligature onto the mouthpiece. * The reed tip is delicate so please take care not to damage it with the ligature, etc. * If you are using a reed made from cane rather than the resin reed supplied with the instrument, moisten the end of the reed in your mouth (or water) before playing. Mouthpiece Ligature Reed 1 Slide the ligature onto the mouthpiece from its tapered end. 2 Position the reed so that the edge of the mouthpiece is slightly visible over the reed tip. Tighten the two screws on the ligature to secure the reed in place. * Position the ligature so that the tuning fork logo is centered in the ligature's open space. * Tighten the ligature screws just enough to keep the reed from moving. Take care not to over-tighten. Reed Ligature Yamaha logo Ligature screws Let's play Venova™ ! 13
