Frequently Asked Questions - JP637S Jupiter

How to properly assemble the Jupiter JP637S clarinet?

Apply grease to the cork on the tenons. First join the upper joint and lower joint aligning the keys. Attach the barrel to the upper joint, then the bell to the lower joint. Finally, place the mouthpiece with the reed and ligature.

How to clean the clarinet after playing?

Run the swab through each part to remove moisture. Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. Clean the mouthpiece and reed separately, then store the reed in its case.

What oil to use for the keys?

Use only special key oil for wind instruments, in moderate amount on the pivots. Avoid any excess that could attract dust.

What to do if a key sticks?

Do not force it. Gently clean around the pivot with a dry cloth. If the problem persists, consult a qualified technician.

Can I repair my clarinet myself?

It is not recommended to attempt a repair yourself. Contact your dealer or an authorized technician to avoid damaging the mechanism.

How to store the clarinet safely?

Always store it in its case after use. Do not place it on a chair or unstable surface. Avoid damp places or exposure to extreme temperatures.

Why grease the corks?

Cork grease makes assembly easier and prevents cracks due to dryness. Reapply regularly.

How to choose a reed suitable for the JP637S?

Use B-flat clarinet reeds of medium strength (2 to 2.5) to start. Try different brands to find the one that suits your breath.

What is the difference between the B-flat clarinet and the bass clarinet?

The JP637S is a B-flat clarinet (soprano), smaller and higher-pitched than the bass. The manual also mentions the bass clarinet, but this model is the standard.

How to prevent wood cracks?

Avoid sudden temperature and humidity changes. Let the instrument acclimatize slowly. Store it in a humidity-controlled case if possible.
