Troubleshooting

The sound is not clear or the instru-

ment plays out of tune

Take the instrument to your dealer for

repair.

The problem may be related to the pads.

• The pads may not be aligned with the tone

holes.

➞ Do not apply pressure to the keys. Also, when

placing the saxophone in the case, make sure

that there is nothing placed on the instrument.

• The pad's surface is torn.

➞ Sand or dust can easily collect on pads when

performing outdoors. Clean thoroughly after

playing.

• The pad does not open sufﬁciently.

➞ Excessive pressure on the keys may result in

damage to the keys or removal of the felts

under the keys, which can cause the instrument

to play out of tune. Please treat the instrument

with care.

Soldered joints become loose

Take the instrument to your dealer for

repair.

Solder can break off if the case is closed when

there is something placed on the key guards, or

from shock due to dropping the instrument,

etc. Be careful and treat the instrument with

care.

Mouthpiece is difﬁcult to attach to the

neck

Apply some cork grease to the neck cork, and

try pushing the mouthpiece onto the neck two

or three times. Forcing the mouthpiece onto

the neck without cork grease may result in dam-

age to the cork. Make sure the cork is properly

greased.

The keys do not move or are stiff

If the key is bent, take the instrument to

your dealer for repair.

Keys can become bent if excessive force is

placed on the key mechanism, if the instrument

is dropped, or if the case is closed with some-

thing placed on the instrument.

When you're ﬁnished playing the instrument,

place it in the case making sure that there is

nothing in the case that will apply pressure to

the instrument when the case is closed. During

assembly, do not apply unnecessary pressure on

the keys. Also, be careful how you hold the in-

strument in the intervals between performance.

If a spring has become dislodged, return-

ing it to its proper position may correct the

problem.

During maintenance, a spring might become

dislodged when wiping the instrument with a

cloth. Please be careful.

The keys are noisy

Take the instrument to your dealer for

repair.

One of the following may be the source of the

problem.

• The cork or felt on the keys has fallen off,

torn, or become thin.

➞ Make sure that corks or felts have not fallen

off.

• The instrument may have been dropped

or bumped causing keys to touch or come

into contact with the body.

➞ Make sure that the instrument is placed in the

case after playing. Also, be careful how you

hold the instrument in the intervals between

performance.

• Key mechanisms are worn.

➞ To prevent keys from becoming worn, apply

key oil about once a month (1-2 drops per

place).

• The screws are loose.

➞ Woodwind instruments have many screws and

they become loose from time to time. Always

check for loose screws and tighten.
