First, please check if the bell of your baritone saxophone fits properly into the padded fork. As it is right now it will fit most Baritones nicely, but there are always exceptions to the rule.
If it doesn’t lower into the top bracket as far as you would like, you can pull it apart or push together slightly and carefully by hand. Do not put in a vice or use tools on it since that could damage the stand.
Especially with drywall and a fairly heavy baritone it is of utmost importance to find a spot that offers solid footing for at least 2 of the supplied screws, like a stud or beam directly behind it. Preferably top and bottom. For the other screws you could use special spiralled drywall plugs, just to be able to put in the screws at those positions..
I strongly recommend having the main body of your saxophone form a line between the 1 and 7 on a clock face. Or as close as possible with the diamond shape straight up.
For stone or concrete walls you will have to drill holes with a drill bit and insert the wallplugs and screws. The little caps are to cover the screws. Put hem on the tip of your forefinger and place them over the screw’s head. Then, with a twisting movement of your finger feel for their proper position over the slot, then just push them in. Use a drop of glue if all else fails.
If you use a cordless drill for the screws, make sure its chuck doesn’t damage the coating.
The stand may have a light spring, but will carry your baritone without fail!
If for some reason you are not sure how or where to mount it, please contact us or get some professional help!
To keep the rubber in good shape you could occasionally put a little bit of silicone spray on a soft cloth and give it a gentle rub.
