How to assemble a clarinet

How to assemble

1. Reed installation

Lightly put the ligature on the mouthpiece.

With the reed and the flat face of the mouthpiece in line, insert the reed between the ligature and the mouthpiece.

Make sure that the mouthpiece and the tip of the reed are aligned, and tighten the ligature screw.

Be careful not to overtighten the screws. If you are not familiar with it, it's also a good idea to loosen it by about 15 ° after tightening it.

2. Assembly of the instrument

Grease the cork if it is new or if you feel the cork is tight

If the instrument does not go to the end as shown in the picture, the tube may have expanded, so repair is necessary.

Assembling the bell and lower tube assembly key, put the bell on your stomach so as not to hold too tight, and insert the lower tube while turning it little by little.

Insert the upper pipe

→Assemble the upper tube with the right hand ring finger key activated.

Insert barrel
