Precautions for Use and General Maintenance

• Take care when opening the packaging to check that package has not suffered any damage during trans-
port. Check the contents to ensure everything is in perfect condition.
• Protect your gaita from the rain, prolonged exposure to sunlight and sudden changes in temperature and
humidity.
• Never leave your gaita in the boot of car which is in direct sunlight nor on cold nights. This could cause
serious damage to the instrument, as well as the obvious risk of theft.
• You should never immerse the instrument in any kind of liquid.
• Be careful with how you leave your instrument to rest. The cylindrical parts and the bag do not offer a
reliable stability for its support and so it could roll or slip.
• When manipulating the chanter reed, be careful when removing the chanter from its stock, as any graze
against the chanter reed can leave it rendered useless. You should always hold the chanter reed close
to the stock (on the bridge). It could break if you do it from the other side. The chanter reed is removed
of its slot and inserted into it by a thread system.
