Maintenance

Although the WX5 does not require the constant maintenance that acoustic wind instruments do, the simple

maintenance steps described below will ensure that your WX5 will deliver optimum performance at all times.

When the mouthpiece and/or reed become dirty, re-

move and wash the mouthpiece with plain water or a

dilute neutral detergent solution, as required. Wipe the

instrument itself with a soft, dry cloth.

Be careful not to bend or otherwise damage the lip

sensor cantilever inside the mouthpiece cavity when

removing or replacing the mouthpiece. The mouth-

piece can be rotated slightly to facilitate removal.

The reed can be removed for cleaning by using a screw-

driver, as shown in the illustration.

Cantilever

Rubber seal

When replacing the mouthpiece, a little "Recorder

Cream" (supplied with the WX5) applied to the rub-

ber seal on the instrument can make insertion smoother.

Clean the cantilever and seal rubber by wiping with a

soft, dry cloth. Be careful not to bend or otherwise

damage the cantilever.

• Maintenance procedures commonly used on acoustic

wind instruments (e.g. key oil, pad replacement, etc.)

can damage the WX5 and should be avoided.
