1. Assemble the barrel and the top joint.

Hold the top joint with the left hand, taking care not to apply any excessive force to the keys. Firstly, apply cork grease Buffet Crampon thinly to the joint corks to make assembly easier.

Note: Cork grease needs to be applied every time when the assembly is difficult. Never use force to avoid instrument from cracking.

Special instructions for Divine clarinets:
The tenons on your Buffet Crampon Divine clarinet are lined with synthetic cork. We have chosen this material for its reliability and the consistent precision it lends to adjustment. It never tears; never wears out. Your clarinet is easy to assemble. Synthetic cork has memory, which means that it returns to its original form after being compressed, so your clarinet will always be perfectly assembled. The upkeep of your instrument is simplified as greasing the tenons is not necessary. If you wish to grease the corks of tenons, it is recommended to use the special cork grease included with the Divine clarinet.

2. Assemble the bottom joint and the bell.

Take care not to apply any excessive force to the keys.

3. Assemble the top and the bottom joints.

Hold the top joint with the left hand and the bottom joint and the bell with the right hand. Line up the correspondence keys.

4. Make sure that the stampings on each joint are in line with each other.

Insert the mouthpiece into the assembled instrument. Then fix the ligature and a dampened reed on the mouthpiece. Note: take care not to damage the mouthpiece top or the reed with the ligature. After playing, cap mouthpiece to protect it and the reed from damage.

单簧管保养

日常护理

1.每次使用后用随附的擦布擦拭按键。

2.需使用专门为单簧管设计的专用乐器箱包。内部嵌入太紧或太松都会损坏乐器按键。

3.绝对不可使用溶剂、抗氧化剂、油等（汽油、酒精、清洁剂等……）。

音高

管乐器的音调高对温度变化非常敏感。通过在平均温度（20°C）的房间中演奏几分钟 Buffet Crampon 单簧管来获得稳定的音高。

音调调节

拔动二节管与上节管连接的部分：通常，乐器的音调会降低，尤其是位于上节管的音区。

拔动上节管与下节管连接的部分：通常，乐器的音调会降低，尤其是位于下节管的音区。

重要事项——避免管体开裂

1.如果是新的乐器，第一个月每天不可演奏超过 30 分钟。

2.避免温度和湿度突然变化。不要让乐器靠近热源（散热器、阳光）或置入快速流动的空气气流中。

3.将乐器放入盒子之前，请用清洁布小心擦拭。

4.无需给音孔上油用于以避免开裂。请按照上述说明操作即可。

注：如果出现了开裂，请联系授权经销商或授权售后服务站，经过认证技师的细心修理后乐器不会影响音准和音质。

使用提供的清洁布

1.演奏乐器时，请经常使用通条布。如果孔内积水，会影响乐器的性能并有损坏垫片的风险：偶尔积水的快速处理窍门：用卷烟纸擦干，卷烟纸会吸收多余的水分。

注：轻轻地将清洁刷穿过扬音管到达调音管。注意不要卡在上节管内突出的管体。

2.清洁布磨损时请更换。如果使用脏的或松散的清洁布，孔内可能会积聚残留物。

3.切勿将潮湿的清洁布与乐器一起放入盒中。清洁布中的水分可能会导致弹簧氧化生锈或按键变色。

Firstly, apply Buffet Crampon cork grease thinly to the joint corks to make the assembly easier.

NB : cork grease needs to be applied every time when the assembly is difficult. Never use force to avoid insturment from cracking.

1. Assemble the top joint with the bottom joint.

Hold the top joint with the left hand and the bottom joint with the right hand and insert, taking care not to apply any excessive force to the keys. Make sure that on each joint are line with each oher.

2. Assemble the bottom joint and the bell.

Hold the joint part of the bell with the left hand and the bottom joint with the right hand and assemble. The instrument descending to low Eb also has a key on the bell. Keep holding the cap of the key on the bell so that the key on the bottom joint will not hit the key on the bell.

3. Fix the pin to the bell firmly with the screw.

4. Assemble the bocal and the top joint.

Hold the joint part of the bocal with the right hand and the top joint with the left hand near the bocal.

5. Fix the reed to the mouthpiece.

Mount the ligature on the mouthpiece and slip in the dampened reed. Then tighten the screw of the ligature. Put the reed straight with the mouthpiece. Note : take care not to damage the mouthpiece top or the reed with the ligature. After playing, cap the mouthpiece to protect it and the reed from damage.

6. Assemble the mouthpiece with the bocal.

Hold the bocal with the left hand near the joint of the mouthpiece supporting from the bottom and the mouthpiece with the right hand, and assemble.

1.始终握住萨克斯管的喇叭口或底部，不要对按键或护杆施加压力。压力太大会使其变形，从而妨碍垫片密封和乐器的正常运行。

2.确保萨克斯管弯脖和管体接口清洁、无杂物、不潮湿、无腐蚀。

3.将萨克斯弯脖管接口插入管体接口中。 注意不要向下用力过猛，否则会使吹管的弧度变形。

4.在弯脖末端的软木上涂上软木膏，以便笛头可以轻松插入，无需用力。

5.将笛头放在乐器上。将哨卡放在笛头上并滑动湿润的簧片。

注：小心不要损坏簧片、笛头末端和哨卡。每次使用后盖上笛头帽，以保护笛头和哨片。

依照以上步骤的相反顺序。

萨克斯管保养

日常护理

1.每次使用后用随附的擦布擦拭按键。

2.需使用专门为单簧管设计的专用乐器箱包。内部嵌入太紧或太松都会损坏乐器按键。

3.将乐器放入盒中之前，请用清洁布将音孔彻底擦干。去除水分可以保持萨克斯管内部清洁，并防止垫子粘住和过早损坏。

4.当乐器处于静止状态或存放在盒中时，请记住将笛头从弯脖上分离。这将延长软木的使用寿命，并使弯脖和笛头适当干燥。

长期保养

随着时间的推移，按键可能会卡顿或出现其他问题。建议每六个月请一位合格的技师对您的萨克斯管进行一次检查，以检查整个乐器。定期维护可以降低故障风险，避免昂贵的大修。

音调调节

1.拔出笛头：乐器的音调降低。

2.深插笛头：乐器的音调升高。

如有任何问题，请联系经销商。

1. Assemble the bell and the lower joint by gently twisting them together, taking care not to apply excessive force to the keys. To make assembly easier, apply a thin layer of Buffet Crampon cork grease to the tenon corks.
Note: Use cork grease whenever assembly is difficult. Never force the parts together to avoid damaging the instrument.

Special instructions for Légende and Légende Hybrid oboes:
Your Légende or Légende Hybrid oboe is equipped with double escapement keys on the bell. Keep the B-flat key closed during assembly and gently twist to align the connection points.

2. Assemble the lower joint/bell assembly with the upper joint, aligning the connection points while taking care not to apply too much pressure on the keys.

Special instructions for Virtuose oboes:
Your Virtuose oboe features a long upper joint. To connect the upper joint and the lower joint, keep the resonance key closed and slide the two joints together until the notch stops. Ensure that the magnetic keys connecting the crow’s foot are properly engaged.

3. Ensure that the engraved logos on each part are aligned. Then, insert your reed.

Disassemble in the reverse order.

Maintenance

Daily care

1. After each use, thoroughly dry the inside of your instrument with the provided swab. Our swabs have been specially designed to ensure optimal drying of the bore for each of our instruments. They are machine washable at 30°C in a laundry bag. A slight moisture residue may remain inside the instrument after swabbing, which is normal; a perfectly dry bore could cause premature wear of the wood.

2. Clean the keywork of the instrument with the soft cloth provided with your instrument. This cleaning ensures the long-term mechanical performance of the instrument. Be careful not to force the keys to avoid damaging the pads and key adjustments.

3. Always use the cases designed exclusively for your instrument. A case that is too tight or too loose can damage the keywork and affect the regulation of your instrument.

4. Absolutely avoid using solvent products, anti-corrosives, etc.

Tuning

The tuning of a wind instrument is very sensitive to temperature variations. Buffet Crampon oboes achieve their proper pitch when played for a few minutes in a room at average temperature (20°C).

IMPORTANT – Preventing cracks on the body

If the instrument is new, do not play it for more than 30 minutes per day during the first month. Avoid sudden changes in temperature and humidity. Do not leave the instrument near a heat source (radiator, sunlight) or in a draft.
Before placing the instrument in its case, carefully swab the bore.
Avant de mettre l’instrument dans l’étui, passer soigneusement l’écouvillon.
Note: There is no need to oil the bore to prevent cracks. Following the above precautions is sufficient.
If a crack does appear, contact your dealer; a careful repair will not affect the intonation and sound quality.

Use of the provided swab

While playing the instrument, use the swab frequently. If water collects in the tone holes, it will affect the instrument’s performance and may damage the pads: use cigarette paper to absorb the excess moisture.
Note: Gently pass the swab from the bell through to the pip. When the swab becomes worn, replace it. If you use a dirty or fluffy swab, debris may collect in the tone holes.
Never store a wet swab in the case with the instrument. Moisture from the swab can cause oxidation of the keywork.

Long-term care

Over time, the mechanics and consumables (corks, pads, springs, screws) may become misaligned. It is recommended to have your instrument inspected annually by a certified technician to ensure the entire instrument is in good working order. Regular maintenance will reduce the risk of malfunction and prevent the need for major, costly repairs.
