● Tuning the Instrument

Tuning is accomplished by adjusting the

position of the mouthpiece on the neck.

Since air temperature or the temperature

of the instrument will have an effect on

tuning, the instrument should be warmed

up beforehand by blowing into it.

Play a tuning note —

• If the pitch is high, pull the mouth-

piece slightly off of the neck.

• If the pitch is low, push the mouth-

piece a little further onto the neck.
