About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a technology for wireless communication
between devices within an area of about 10 meters (33 ft.),
and employs the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
Handling Bluetooth communications
• The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth compatible
devices is a radio band shared by many types of equip-
ment. While Bluetooth compatible devices use a tech-
nology minimizing the influence of other components
using the same radio band, such influence may reduce
the speed or distance of communications and in some
cases interrupt communications.
• The speed of signal transfer and the distance at which
communication is possible differs according to the dis-
tance between the communicating devices, the pres-
ence of obstacles, radio wave conditions and the type of
equipment.
• Yamaha does not guarantee all wireless connections
between this unit and devices compatible with Bluetooth
function.
Your particular instrument does not have Bluetooth capa-
bility if a “Y” indication is printed on the upperright corner of
the label at the bottom.

piece is slightly visible over the reed tip. Tighten
the two screws on the ligature to secure the reed
in place.
* Position the ligature so that the tuning fork logo is cen-
tered in the ligature’s open space.
Troubleshooting
• Sound does not stop.
- Try turning the power on again.
- Fluid remaining on the hole inside the mouthpiece
joint may result in the sound not stopping. Remove
fluid from the hole by using a slim cotton swab.
Specifications
* The contents of this manual apply to the latest specifica-
tions as of the publishing date. To obtain the latest man-
ual, access the Yamaha website then download the

accessories may not be the same in every locale, please
check with your Yamaha dealer.
NOTICE
• The reed tip is delicate so please take care not to dam-
age it with the ligature, etc.
NOTICE
• Use the dedicated mouthpiece set (mouthpiece, reed,
ligature) included with this instrument. Failure to do so
can result in sound not being produced properly or other
malfunctions.
• Tighten the ligature screws just enough to keep the reed
from moving. Take care not to over-tighten.
• Do not wash this instrument or the instrument interior
with water. Doing so can result in damage to the instru-
ment.
• Do not apply grease to the instrument neck. Doing so
can result in damage to the neck.
• When the connection between the neck and the mouth-
piece is getting looser, replace the O-ring with the
included replacement one.
• If over the course of use the tip of the reed is broken off
or the reed becomes disfigured, replace it with the
included replacement reed.
