How to Install Your Neck Guards
Step 1
Wrap the guard around the trombone and lace the cord through the top holes from the inside out. Pull cord taut.
Step 2
Continue lacing up the hand guard the way you would lace up a pair of shoes. It should look like this. Continue until you reach the bottom.
Step 3
When you reach the bottom, cross the cords over each other, and tie. You can also loop the excess cord to the other side before tying. Trim off excess cord. Add a dab of glue to the knot.
*use your shortest cord for the neck, unless neck is longer than 4 in. For necks longer than 4 in, use longest chord.
