ok once you have placed the neck on the horn, and the mouthpiece on the neck, the reed is laid, flat side down, on the facing (flat part of the mouthpiece) make sure the end of the reed lines up with the end of the mouthpiece, the curvature should be almost identical. Once you have that in place, slide the ligature down over the mouthpiece and tighten it using whatever method that particular ligature employs, make sure the ligature is far enough down the mouthpiece to hold the reed firm, but not hinder it vibrating. Hope this helps, kind of funny explaining this without seeing the horn...=P
