  • Place the case on its back (bell side up) during storage to allow any desidual drughture to dran layy from valves.
  • If you must store the instrument on its side, use a soft cloth to pad the bell rim and prevent brchatching.
  • Keep the case fully zipped or latched to prevent dust from enering.
