Caution — Movable Thumb Rest

Vorsichtshinweise zur verstellbaren Daumenauage

可動式指掛けのご注意

* YCL-457/458 models only

Adjusting the Thumb Rest

1. Loosen the stopper screw and adjust the thumb rest to the desired position.

* Removing the stopper screw can result in losing the screw so only

loosen the screw enough to adjust the thumb rest.

2. Secure the thumb rest in place by tightening the stopper screw with a

screwdriver or a coin.

Caution—When Using the Strap Ring

(Only for instruments equipped with a strap ring on the thumb rest.)

•

Use with the strap around your neck and the strap’s hook inserted through the strap ring.

•

When inserting the strap hook into the instrument’s strap ring, or while playing, always hold

onto the instrument with your hands. Letting the instrument hang from the hook without

any support places excessive weight on the ring, which can cause damage. Moreover, if the

strap ring were to come off of the hook, the instrument could drop. Please use caution.

Verstellen der Daumenauﬂage

1. Lösen Sie die Feststellschraube und verstellen Sie die Daumenauﬂage

bis zur gewünschten Position.

Die Feststellschraube könnte verloren gehen, wenn sie ganz entfernt wird. Lösen

Sie die Schraube daher nur so weit, dass die Daumenauage verstellt werden kann.

2. Ziehen Sie die Feststellschraube mit einem Schraubendreher oder einer

Münze an, um die Daumenauﬂage an dieser Position zu ﬁxieren.

Vorsichtshinweis zur Verwendung der Riemenöse

(Betrifft nur Instrumente mit Riemenöse an der Daumenauﬂage.)

• Zur Verwendung legen Sie den Riemen um den Nacken und hängen den Haken des

Riemens durch die Öse ein.

• Auch wenn der Riemenhaken in der Riemenöse des Instruments eingehängt ist, oder

beim Spielen, müssen Sie das Instrument stets mit den Händen halten. Wenn das Ins-

trument ohne stützende Hände nur am Riemen hängt, wird der Ring zu stark belastet

und kann beschädigt werden. Des weiteren könnte sich der Haken aus der Öse lösen

und das Instrument auf den Boden fallen. Seien Sie diesbezüglich bitte vorsichtig.

● 調整方法

1.止めネジをゆるめ、指掛けを適切な位置に調整します。

※ 紛失の原因になるので、止めネジは取り外さないでください。

2.ドライバーあるいは硬貨で止めネジを締め、指掛けを固定します。

※ストラップリング使用時の注意

　（指掛けにストラップリングが付いている楽器についてのみ）

・ストラップを首にかけ、フックをストラップリングに掛けて使用してください。

・フックをストラップリングに掛ける際や、演奏中は必ず楽器を手で支えてくださ

い。楽器を手で支えないと、ストラップリングに過度の重量がかかり破損の原因

となります。また、万が一ストラップリングから、フックが外れた場合、楽器の

落下の原因になります。ご注意ください。

Care of Grenadilla Instruments Pflege von Instrumenten aus Grenadillholz グラナディラ楽器のお取り扱い Yamaha German system clarinets have bodies made of the finest select Grenadilla wood. Being a natural material, wood is extremely sensitive to temperature and humidity. When exposed to sudden climatic changes, the body may expand or contract, resulting in jammed tenons or even cracking.

Assembly Vorbereitung des Instruments 楽器の組み立て Greasing Cork Tenons Tenons are not greased prior to shipment to avoid collecting with dirt and dust during transport. Before assembling the instrument for the first time, cork grease should be applied evenly on the cork tenons. Repeat from time to time as needed, to protect the cork and facilitate assembly.
PAGE 6
Connecting the Sections 1) The bell is already attached to the lower joint on many models, however the bells on the YCL-457 Series and YCL-458 Series models are separate in the case and need to be attached. To connect the lower and upper joints, align them to their proper placement; i.e., the toneholes on front of both sections form a line, and then firmly insert the tenon. The parts should be fitted with as little turning motion as possible to avoid damaging the key mechanism.

1) 2) 3) Securing the Reed with a String Ligature 1) Before using, place the end of the reed in your mouth or in water to soften. 2) Center the reed on the flat portion of the mouthpiece with the edge of the reed near the tip of the mouthpiece. The tip of the mouthpiece should just be visible above the end of the reed. Note: The mouthpiece and reed are easily damaged, protect them by attaching the cap whenever not playing.
PAGE 8
Tuning Stimmen チューニング The pitch of the instrument is greatly effected by temperature. Before tuning, warm the clarinet by gently blowing through it. To tune, extend the barrel from the upper joint. The farther the barrel is extended, the lower the pitch. Die Stimmung des Instruments ist stark temperaturabhängig. Bevor Sie Ihre Klarinette stimmen, sollten Sie sie daher durch leichtes Durchblasen aufwärmen. Das Stimmen des Instruments wird durch Ausziehen der Birne aus dem Oberstück bewerkstelligt.
PAGE 9
Care of Your Instrument Pflege des Instruments 楽器のお手入れ After playing, disassemble the sections and clean them thoroughly, being sure to remove any remaining moisture. Removing the Reed After use, remove the reed from the mouthpiece, dry it using a clean cloth, and store it in a reed case. When removing, take care not to damage the tip of the reed or the mouthpiece.
PAGE 10
Drying the Body and Pads 1) Insert the swab in the bell and pull it slowly through the body to remove all moisture. 2) Moisture tends to collect at the tenon joints. This can easily cause cracks so be sure to remove all moisture from the tenons and tenon receivers with a cleaning swab. 3) Remove moisture from pads by inserting cleaning paper between the key hole and pad, then pressing the key down lightly. In the same way moisture can be removed while playing.
PAGE 11
Cleaning Outer Surfaces The outer surface of the clarinet should be polished by wiping lengthwise with a polishing cloth, taking care not to press on the keys. Wipe keys and covers carefully to avoid scratches or damage to the pads. Should the mechanism become tarnished, use a little silver polish on polishing gauze. Note: Be careful not to get any polish on the pads. The insides of the tone holes can be cleaned using a tone hole cleaner.
PAGE 12
Applying Oil 1) The inner wood surface of your clarinet should be oiled from time to time (as needed). Application of bore oil protects the wood from moisture penetration thus helping prevent deformation and cracking. Apply a few drops of bore oil to a swab and draw it through the body several times. Do not forget to apply oil to the front portions of the tenons and tenon receivers. Note: Be careful not to get any oil on corks or pads.
PAGE 13
Storing the Instrument Aufbewahren des Instruments 楽器の収納 Always store the instrument in its case when not in use. Do not include any lose objects in the case, or anything which may press against the instrument. Do not stack other objects on top of the case when storing it. Bewahren Sie das Instrument bei Nichtgebrauch in seinem Koffer auf. Legen Sie keine losen Gegenstände in den Koffer, oder Dinge, die Druck auf das Instrument ausüben.
