Proper care of your saxophone is essential for maintaining its sound quality and longevity. Regularly clean the instrument after each use by swabbing the inside with a cleaning swab to remove moisture. Wipe down the exterior with a soft cloth to prevent tarnishing and dust buildup. Additionally, check the pads and keys for any signs of wear or damage. Avoid exposing your saxophone to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can affect its materials. Store it in a protective case when not in use to keep it safe from physical damage and environmental factors.
