• Ligature (the gizmo that clamps the reed onto the mouthpiece)

• First, Grasp the middle of the body firmly with one hand.
• Secondly, Ensure that the screw at the top is loose to allow the neck tenon to fit into the top of the body.

• The middle of the back of the neck should be lined up with the extending pin.

Attach the reed to the mouthpiece

• Tighten the ligature screws so that it is just tight enough to hold the reed so that it cannot slip around.
