Before Playing
Attaching the Mouthpiece
Use a cloth to remove any dust or foreign
substance from the neck joint before
attaching the mouthpiece.
1 Grasp the mouthpiece firmly, and
slide the mouthpiece straight onto the
neck joint until it stops at the body.
2 Slide the ligature onto the mouth-
piece from its tapered end.
3 Attach the reed onto the mouthpiece.
First, place the reed so that the top
edge of the mouthpiece is visible
over the end of the reed, and then
tighten the ligature screws (2) to
secure the reed.
About Tuning
Basically, the Venova does not require
tuning. The instrument is designed to play
tuned to A=442Hz when the mouthpiece is
slid all the way onto the instrument. If the
instrument needs to be tuned to another
pitch, it can be tuned lower by pulling the
mouthpiece slightly away from the body.
Since the temperature of the inside of the
instrument affects the tuning (particularly
when cold), blow into the instrument to
warm it before tuning it.
• Take care not to pull the mouthpiece
too far out. Pulling too far can result
in poor pitch balance making it hard
to play.
Laying the Instrument Down
When the instrument is not being played,
place it on a flat surface as shown in the
illustration below. Do not place the instru-
ment on a chair, music stand, or other
such unstable surfaces, as there is a risk
of the instrument falling. Also, never lean
the instrument up against a wall, etc.
For more detailed instructions on
attaching the reed, please refer to the
accompanying “Let’s play Venova™ !”
booklet.

Slide this out to lower the pitch
(but avoid sliding it out too far)
Place the instrument with the
keys facing up, to prevent them
from touching the surface.

After Playing
Instrument Maintenance after
Playing
After playing, always loosen the ligature
and remove the reed from the mouth-
piece then wipe dry with gauze. Remove
the ligature from the mouthpiece as well.
• Take care not to damage the end of
the mouthpiece.
Remove the mouthpiece from the
instrument and clean the inside of the
mouthpiece with a soft cloth. Clean the
inside of the instrument with the sup-
plied cleaning swab.
Using the Cleaning Swab
1 Insert the end of ball chain of the
swab into the body from the neck
joint of the instrument.
2 Gently shake the instrument so that
the ball chain comes out of the oppo-
site end.
3 Pull on the ball chain gently so that
the cleaning swab can remove mois-
ture and dirt from the inside of the
body.
• Pulling the cleaning swab too fast can
result in the swab becoming stuck in
the body.
• Always keep the cleaning swab clean
and dry.
Use a soft cloth to wipe the instrument’s
surface. Take care to avoid applying
excessive force on the keys.
Both the mouthpiece and body are
washable. After washing, please use a
cleaning swab or a soft cloth to thor-
oughly remove moisture.
Putting the Instrument in the
Case
When placing the instrument in the
case, refer to page 7 and make sure
that the mouthpiece is attached straight
onto the body. Make sure that the
mouthpiece is properly attached to
avoid the possibility of damage to the
instrument.
The slide locks on the case lid (A)
slightly protrude from the case. Take
care that your clothing or the cleaning
swab do not get caught hooked on one
of the locks and cause the case or
instrument to fall.
