Assembly
1Apply a liberal amount of cork
grease to the neck cork and rub it
in with your fingers.
2Put your mouthpiece on the neck
by twisting gently. Leave approximately
1/4 of the cork exposed.
3Insert neck base into the body
section then tighten the neck
screw.
5Wear the Antigua saxophone strap
around your neck and hook the
strap onto the strap ring on the
back of the instrument. Adjust the
strap length so you can reach your
mouthpiece comfortably.
4Moisten your reed in water or in your
mouth. Secure the moistened reed
to the mouthpiece with the ligature
by gently sliding it on from the top.
Align the reed tip with the end of
the mouthpiece. Tighten the ligature
screws to hold in place but avoid
over- tightening them.
