Caring for the Recorder
• After playing, wipe the condensation from the inside of the recorder by using a small piece of cloth on a cleaning rod. DO NOT use tissue or paper towel. These will leave behind little bits that can clog your recorder.
• You can clean your recorder with warm, soapy water or placing it in the dishwasher.
• Keep your recorder in its case when you are not playing it.
