Using this case is easy. First, unzip the high - quality YKK zippers. Carefully place your Eb Alto Saxophone in the Contour Molded Plush - Lined Nest. You can store small items like reeds or cleaning cloths in the exterior pocket. When traveling, you can either use the discreet backpack straps for hands - free movement or the comfortable shoulder strap for a quick carry. For maintenance, wipe the exterior with a clean, dry cloth regularly. Avoid exposing the case to extreme temperatures or rough handling. Check the zippers occasionally to make sure they're working smoothly. And always be gentle when putting the saxophone in or taking it out to protect the plush lining and the instrument itself.
