Caring for your Instrument


  1. Use cork grease only when absolutely needed. Rub the cork grease into the cork, when you do apply it.
  2. Do not leave the reed attached to the mouthpiece when not in use. It will shorten the life of your reed, and collect germs.
  3. Clean out the inside of your instrument after each use.
  4. Do not leave your neck strap attached to the saxophone when not in use.
  5. Always put your saxophone back in its case, or on a proper stand when not in use.
  6. Always pick up your saxophone by the body, and not the neck because the neck can easily fall off.
  7. Avoid eating drinking or chewing gum while playing, or before playing.
