The fuse is made to blow at a set amperage to protect the wire from overheating. Using anything but the fuse may cause the circuit to work but could most certainly cause the wiring to overheat and burn if it is overloaded.

If you take the round metal piece off the top of the mouth piece by loosening the screws, and place the reed next to the mouth piece so the flat side is next to the mouth piece. Then, line up the curved top of the reed with the curved top of the saxophone, so you can only see a tiny bit of the mouthpiece. Put on the round metal piece again and tighten it using the screws. There you have it!!


What is a pin back button?

This is not a button used for fastening a garment. It is made of metal. It attached to your clothing by means of a pin on the back, rather like a safety pin. A pin back button usually has a witty saying, political slogan, or picture on its face. (Other buttons may have a tie-tack clasp: a straight piece of metal that goes through your clothing and has a separate metal piece you put on the back to hold it in place, kind of like a pierced earring.)
