Assembling the flute:
The mechanism of a flute is very delicate and can be expensive to repair, therefore, do not take flute out of the case by its mechanism.
Hold the body by the barrel (headjoint socket) and the headjoint around the tubing below the lip plate. Keeping the headjoint in line with the main body, insert the headjoint in to the main body using a careful rotary action.
Always wash your hands before playing as your natural oils are corrosive to your flute.
Always wipe the inside with a gauze cloth to remove moisture and remove fingermarks before returning your flute to its case.
We would recommend a full service every 12 - 18 months depending upon use.
