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 off 

any water droplets.

As shown in the illustration, insert the 

mouthpiece all the way until the concave 

and convex portions align.

NOTE

 

5

If the mouthpiece is not inserted all the way, you won’t be 

able to control the tone by the strength with which you bite 

the reed.

 

5

When removing or attaching the 

mouthpiece, take care not to bend 

the bite bar.

 

5

Take care not to hurt your hand 

on the screw that’s inside the 

mouthpiece.

 

5

When attaching the mouthpiece, 

take care not to pinch your finger 

between the movable part and the 

body of the instrument. Applying 

commercially available recorder 

cream makes attachment and removal easier.
