Before You Play

■ Assembling the Leadpipe

(Sousaphone only)

The sousaphone uses a multi-piece leadpipe.

This leadpipe in combination with a bit allows

the player to adjust the mouthpiece to a com-

fortable position to best fit individual needs.

Apply some slide grease to the middle sec-

tion of the leadpipe and then insert it into

the leadpipe receiver. Next, tighten the

screw on the receiver to secure the middle

pipe in place.

* If the bit is left on the leadpipe, it may

become stuck in place. After playing, make

sure that the bit is removed from the

leadpipe and remove moisture from the

bit.

* The YSH-411 is supplied with two different

bits. Both can be connected together if

necessary.

■ Assembling the Marching Tuba

(Marching series only)

The leadpipe on one of the marching series tuba

models can be switched to convert the instru-

ment between marching use and regular con-

cert use. (An "M" at the end of the product num-

ber indicates a marching series tuba.)

Loosen screws A and B to remove the regu-

lar concert leadpipe, then attach the march-

ing leadpipe and tighten screws A and B.
