Maintaining the mouthpiece
The maintenance needed for a conventional
saxophone is not necessary. If the mouthpiece
becomes soiled from playing, remove the mouthpiece,
wash it with water, and use a soft cloth to dry o any
water droplets.
NOTE
5 When removing or attaching the mouthpiece, take
care not to bend the bite lever.
5 When attaching the mouthpiece, take care not to
pinch your nger between the movable part and
the body of the instrument. Applying commercially
available recorder cream makes attachment and
removal easier.
5 If the mouthpiece needs to be replaced due to
age or any other reason, you may purchase the
separately sold OP-AE10MP.
Bite

As shown in the illustration, insert the mouthpiece all the
way until the concave and convex portions align.
