Assembly
Before assembling the instrument, please observe the following.
The clarinet is made of natural wood and precision metal parts. When holding and assembling
the instrument, take care not to place any excessive force on the keys.
Also, if you have difficulty attaching the joints together when assembling the instrument, apply a
thin coat of cork grease to the joint cork and try to put the joints together again. When applying
cork grease, be careful not to apply too much. If the joints still do not go together smoothly, ap-
ply a thin coat of cork grease to the receiver side as well.
