Care and maintenance of brass instruments
The cleaning and care of the instrument must be done regularly.
Insert the mouthpiece sligthtly turning it and if the operation results difficult, contact the reseller and do not use any
other tools that could damage the instrument.
Ordinary maintenance:
1. Clean the mouthpiece with a pipe cleaner.
2. For the piston valve instruments: unscrew and extract the first piston, lubricate with the provided oil, reposition it
rotating until hearing a click and the rotation is blocked. Proceed in the same way with the second and third pistons.
3. For cilindric instruments: unscrew the valve’s covers and pour a drop of oil. Pour a drop of oil on the instrument’s
junction rods. Move the cilinders repeatedly to facilitate the oil distribution.
4. Extract the pump, take out all the condensation and reposition them. If the movement of the pump results difficult:
clean the grease residues and eventual oxidations, grease them again with the given grease and reassemble everything.
After having played, it is important to extract all the pumps and take out the condensation that has accumulated and
put the instrument back in its case.
Long-term maintenance:
With regular use the keys of the instrument could need regulation. We suggest bringing your instrument to a qualified
technician once a year for a checkup. Controlling your instrument on a regular basis could prevent the risk of
malfunctions and the need for expensive future repairs
