■ About the Icons

This Icon indicates points which should carefully be observed and followed.

This icon indicates actions that are prohibited.

CAUTION

Do not throw or swing the instrument when others are close by. The headjoint or other parts may fall off hitting other people. Always treat the instrument gently.

Keep small parts out of the reach of infants. Your children may accidentally swallow them. Keep the oil, polish, etc., out of children's mouths. Keep the oil, polish, etc., out of children's reach and only do maintenance when children are not present.

NOTICE To avoid the possibility of damage to the product, follow the notices below.

Take care not to disfigure the instrument. Placing the instrument where it is unstable may cause the instrument to fall or drop resulting in disfigurement. Take care as to where and how you place the instrument.

Be aware of climatic conditions such as temperature, humidity, etc. Keep the instrument away from heat sources such as heaters, etc. Also, do not use or store the instrument in any extreme conditions of temperature or humidity. Doing so may result in damage to key balance, linkage, or pads, resulting in problems during performance.

Ointments or creams containing sulfur (for acne, etc.) coming in contact with the metal on the instrument can cause discoloration (the metal turns black or brown) of the silver or silver plate. To prevent this, make sun that both hands and face are clean before playing.

Regarding brass instruments with a plate finish, the colour of the finish may change over time. However, changes in the finish do not affect the instrument's performance. Discoloration in its early stages can easily be removed with proper maintenance. (As discoloration progresses, however, it may be difficult to remove.) Please use the accessories that are specified for use with the particular type of finish found on the instrument. Also, metal polished remove a thin layer of the finish's top coat which will make the finish thinner. Please be aware of this before using polish.

Before Playing the Instrument

■ Cautions regarding wooden instruments

Some flare and piccolo bodies are made of natural wood (Crenadilla) so sudden changes in temperature 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 instrument 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.)

■ When not holding the flute

Piccolo/Flute/Alto Flute

Place the instrument with the key facing up on a stable surface.

Bass Flute

1. 'Turn the thicker end of the hand rest so it is at a 90° angle to the performer.'
2. Rest the instrument with its hand rest and footprint placed on a stable surface.

NOTE.

* When resting the instrument on a flat surface, make sure the direction of the headjoint is appropriate so that the instrument remains stable.

■ Using the ring key plugs

If your instrument has ring key plugs, be careful nor to lose them. Ring key plugs are useful when you have trouble reaching a key with your fingers, or when you cannot hold the key firmly enough.

Preparing to Play

■ Assembling the instrument

Piccolo

"Taking care not to press the keys, connect the headjoint to the body.

NOTE

Use the markings on the headjoint and body as a guide for aligning the two sections.

If you experience difficulty attaching the joint sections, apply a thin coat of cork grease to the cork and try again.

Headjoint

Flute

1. Taking care not to press the keys, attach the footjoint to the body.

2. Taking care not to press the keys, attach the headjoint to the body.

NOTE

* Use the markings on the headjoint and body as a guide for aligning the two sections.

* Take care not grasp the lip plate on the headjoint, and do not apply pressure to the keys on the body or footjoint. * Use a cloth to wipe off any dirt or foreign matter from the joint sections before assembling.

Body Headjoint Leopoint Body

Flute (Carved Headjoint models)/Alto Flute/Bass Flute

1. Use a cloth to wipe off any dirt or foreign matter from the joints before attaching.
2. Taking care not to press to the keys, hold the body at its uppermost point, and the footjoint by its lowest point, and attach the footjoint to the body.
   If you experience difficulty, hold the body in the middle and cry to attach it again.

NOTICE

Take care not to apply unnecessary force to the keys.

1. Attach the U-joint to the main body. Align the U-joint so that it is positioned slightly to the left of the keys when looking at the keys from directly above. Next, rotate the headjoint and adjust the position (angle) of the embouchure hole so that it aligns with your mouth.

For the bass flure, the next step is to attach the hand rest to the instrument at a comfortable angle.

Tuning

Since changes in temperature and humidity can affect the instrument's pitch, blow some air through the instrument to warm it up before tuning.

Piccolo/Flute

Tuning is accomplished by sliding the headjoint slightly toward or away from the body. • Pull out on the headjoint to lower the pitch and push it in to raise the pitch.

Alto Flute/Bass Flute
On the air and bass flares, running is accomplished by sliding the U-joint slightly reward or away from the body. * Do not adjust the space between the headjoint and U-joint. Doing so will degrade the pitch balance, making it difficult to tune the instrument.

Check the tone reflector position

As slippage in the tone reflector position can affect the instrument's intonation, its position should be checked periodically.

How to check the tone reflector position

Using the supplied cleaning rod accessory, insert it into the headjoint and make sure that the line on the cleaning rod is centered in the embusechure hole.

NOTE

* When adjusting the tone reflector position Adjusting the tone reflector's position requires high skill and should be done by your local dealer from whom you purchased the instrument.

* If the head cap is loose, turn it until it is sufficiently tight. Do not over-tighten the head cap, as it may cause the position of the reflector to move.

Maintenance

■ After playing the instrument

● Cleaning the body

1. Insert the corner of a gauze through the hole at the end of the cleaning rod.

1. Wrap the gauze around the end of the cleaning rod, making sure no bare metal is exposed. * Exposed metal can damage the interior of the body.

1. Rotate the body in the same direction that the gauze is wrapped and wipe away moisture from the instrument's bore. Wipe away moisture from the joint sections as well.

* Take extra care removing moisture from wooden instruments. Moisture left in the bore can result in cracking.

- Pad maintenance

While the pads are still wet, insert a piece of cleaning paper between the pad and the tone hole and completely remove moisture from them.

2 If the pods are still sticky, use a piece of powder paper to remove the stickiness.

● Cleaning the exterior

Taking care not to apply pressure on the keys, use a polishing cloth to wipe away fingerprints or oil from the instrument's exterior.

* When cleaning the keys, take care not to damage the pads.

■ Putting the instrument in its case

First, wipe off moisture and dirt from the joints, then place the headjoint into the case. Store the headjoint, frontjoint and the body in the case, in that under. Fit it into the case snugly, without forcing.

When closing the case, make sure there are no objects such as a gauze or cloth on top of the instrument. Doing so may put unnecessary pressure on the keys causing damage. Also, never leave a damp cloth or gauze, etc., in the case.

■ Maintenance required every two to three months

If you feel the keys are not moving well, use a special key oil (sold separately.)

1. Apply some key oil to the key mechanisms. NOTE
   * Do not apply too much key oil.
   * If you are unsure of where to apply the key oil, consult the store where you purchased it.

2 After applying oil, move the key several times to spread the oil evenly.

1. Completely remove any all that gets onto the surface of the keys or instrument.
