Hulusi changing mouthpiece tutorial

Step 1: Prepare mouthpiece, 502 glue, utility knife, lighter, flat file (spare tea cone, small hammer).

Step 2: Use a lighter to light the broken mouthpiece of the musical instrument. The instrument should be kept upright. When the fire is about to burn to the mouthpiece and the gourd interface, blow out the fire. Be careful not to burn the gourd.

Step 3: After blowing out the fire, use a utility knife to cut off the mouthpiece from the gap between the mouthpiece and the gourd interface. When cutting, cut it all around, not the same place.

If the mouthpiece in the inner diameter of the gourd mouth is not cleaned up, use a tea cone and a small hammer to chisel it off a little bit. After chiseling, pour out the mouthpiece residue in the gourd.

Step 4: After cutting off the mouthpiece, use a flat file to remove the remaining glue, and the top of the gourd should also be flat to ensure that the mouthpiece will not leak because of the large gap after it is installed.

Step 5: After the top of the gourd is flat, put the remarked mouthpiece on top to see if the size does not match. After matching, press the top of the mouthpiece with your left index finger, hold the gourd tightly with the other fingers, and then blow the mouthpiece to the top of the mouthpiece. Form a 45-degree angle, use 502 glue to drop on the interface between the gourd and the mouthpiece, after two drops of two drops, keep the hand and the instrument still for a minute, release the index finger of the left hand, and drop the gourd and mouthpiece with 502 glue. around, do not drip too much. After dripping, hang the instrument upside down. After 5 minutes, drip it again at the same time, and it will still hang upside down after dripping. Wait for half an hour after the glue dries to test for air leakage. If there is still air leakage, drop the glue on the air leakage area. After the glue is completely dry, it can be used normally.

Changing the mouthpiece is so easy, you can do it yourself. But be very careful when using 502 glue, do not drip on the gourd or mouthpiece, and also protect your eyes, fingers, etc.
