| Frequency | Action | Why It Matters | |-----------|--------|----------------| | | • Swab the inside with a clean, dry cleaning swab . • Wipe the exterior with a soft microfiber cloth . • Loosen the neck cork slightly (to avoid pressure marks). | Removes moisture that can warp wood‑like parts and prevents pad corrosion. | | Weekly | • Apply cork grease to the neck cork. • Inspect pads for wear; replace if they’re thinning or hard. • Oil key pivots (2–3 drops each). | Keeps the action smooth and prevents air leaks. | | Monthly | • Check screw tightness on the keywork (use a small screwdriver). • Clean the mouthpiece interior with a mouthpiece brush and mild soap. • Replace reeds (average life: 2–3 weeks for frequent players). | Prolongs instrument life and ensures consistent tone. | | Every 6‑12 Months | • Send the Missax to an authorized service technician for a full inspection (pad replacement, bore cleaning). • If you have the Bluetooth module, have the firmware updated via the app. | Prevents hidden problems from becoming costly repairs. |
