Mendini MCT-E+SD+PB Black Ebonite ABS B Flat Clarinet with Accessories

All of our clarinets are tested at our factory and inspected again by skilled technicians at our Los Angeles distribution center prior to shipping. It is important to disassemble and thoroughly clean the clarinet after playing, then store it in its case. Tips include using a small amount of cork grease on joints to help ease assembly and wiping off excess grease. Rinsing the mouth after eating or drinking prior to playing is also recommended. Always store the clarinet in its case when not in use to prevent damage, and avoid direct and extended exposure to sunlight, rain, heaters, and air conditioners. It is recommended to bring the clarinet to a skilled technician at least once a year for servicing.

For first-time players, seeking assistance from an instructor is advised. If an instructor is not available, follow the provided steps for assembling the clarinet. After removing it from the case, attach the barrel, bell, and upper and lower joints, being careful not to damage the keys. Warm up the clarinet before playing by blowing air through it, and use a chromatic tuner or piano to help tune the instrument. Adjust the intonation by pulling the barrel slightly away from the body or adjusting the upper and lower joints.

Proper maintenance is crucial. After each use, insert a cleaning swab into the clarinet to remove moisture, wipe the mouthpiece with a soft cloth, and scrub the inside with a mouthpiece brush. Dry the pads by inserting cleaning pad paper between the pad and the tone hole, and rub the outside of the clarinet with a polishing cloth to remove particles and fingerprints. Use a key brush and pipe cleaner to clean hard-to-reach areas, and apply small amounts of cork grease to the tenons to maintain the quality of the cork.

This clarinet kit is designed for beginners, with a case, mouthpiece, box of reeds, cork grease, cleaning cloth, gloves, pocketbook, and stand included. The instrument is lightweight, adjustable, and portable, making it suitable for orchestra concerts, home use, and practice rooms. The clarinet is crafted with high-grade plastic casting and sturdy, nickel-plated keys, giving it an elegant and durable appearance. The included pocketbook provides tips and tricks for new players, making this a great gift for aspiring musicians of all ages.
