Precautions Please read before using

The precautions given below concern the proper and safe use of the instrument, and are to protect you and others from any damage or injuries. Please follow and obey these precautions.

If children are using the instrument, a guardian should clearly explain these precautions to the child and make sure they 17 are fully understood and obeyed. After reading this manual, please keep it in a safe place for future reference.

■ About the Icons

: This icon indicates points which should be paid attention to.	: This icon indicates actions that are prohibited.
Caution	may lead to damage or injury.
	Disobeying the points indicated with this mark

Do not throw or swing the instrument when others are close by.

The mouthpiece or other parts may fall off hitting other people. Always treat the instrument gently.

Keep the oil, polish, etc., out of children’s mouths.

Keep the oil, polish, etc., out of children’s reach and do maintenance when children are not present.

Be careful not to touch the pin springs during maintenance, etc.

The end of the pin springs found on high-end models is sharpened to provide greater key action.

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.

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.

In regards to brass instruments with a plate finish, the color of the finish may change over time however, it should be of no concern in regards to the instrument’s performance. Discoloration in its early stage can easily be removed with maintenance. (As discoloration progresses, 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 polishes 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 flute and piccolo bodies are made of natural wood (Grenadilla) 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.

20• 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 (this applies to piccolo and bass flutes only).

■ When not holding the flute

Piccolo/Flute/Alto Flute

Place the instrument with the keys 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 footjoint placed on a stable surface.

	* Please realize that the angle at which the
	headjoint is positioned may make the in-	Hand rest
	strument unstable.
