Before You Play Setting the Reed and Ligature Twist the mouthpiece from side to side as you slide it onto the neck joint . 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 4 Let's play Venova™ !
