Before Playing the Instrument

■ Cautions regarding wooden instruments

Some flute and piccolo bodies are made of natural wood (Grenadilla) so sudden changes in tempera-

ture or humidity may result in cracking of the body or difficulty when connecting the body sections

together. For this reason, take into careful consideration the place and manner in which the instru-

ment is used.

• During winter, wait until the entire instrument has adjusted to room temperature before playing.

• When the instrument is still new, do not play it for long periods of time. Play it for about 20 to 30

minutes a day for approximately 2 weeks.

• Both during and after performance, remove moisture and dirt from the instrument whenever

possible.

Before assembling the instrument, please observe the following points.

• When holding or assembling the instrument, do not apply any excessive force to the keys.

• Wipe away any dirt or foreign matter from the joints before assembling.

• If you experience difficulty connecting the joints together, apply a thin coat of cork grease to the

cork and try again (for piccolo and bass flutes only).

■ Cautions regarding the joints

Before assembling the instrument, always wipe off any dust or grime from the joint sections of all parts.

• Headjoint (Wipe to remove dust and grime from the outside of the headjoint and

inside of the body.)

• Footjoint (Wipe to remove dust and grime from the outside of the body and inside

of the footjoint.)
