    To remove water from the tube after each use, wrap a handkerchief or gauze around the cleaning stick that comes with the instrument. Then insert it into the tube body and slowly rotate it, up and down and rub it back and forth a few times. If the mat is damp, the water should be removed in time.

    The method is to use a piece of absorbent paper, sandwich it between the key and the sound hole, and press the key by hand to make the paper fully contact with the mat and absorb the water. Then use a soft cloth or clean paper to sandwich between the keys and the sound hole, gently press the keys down, the force is not too heavy, pull the soft cloth or paper back and forth several times, so that each mat is clean. If it is not cleaned for a long time, after too much dirt accumulates, it will act as a sticky band and affect the opening and closing speed of the key.

    So be sure to clean it regularly, at least once a month.

    Also check the instrument frequently, from top to bottom, to check whether the keys are abnormal and whether the screws are loose. If there are loose screws, they should be tightened in time to prevent loss and affect normal use. Be sure to put the instrument back in the box after use, and do not put it indiscriminately to prevent bumping.

    Don't chase and fight with musical instruments.

    Oil your instrument once a month (but I don't think you need to oil your flute at your price, it's not necessary) white oil or sewing machine oil is fine, and put a drop of oil on the moving part of the joint of the key, not too much. In particular, the keys pressed by the thumb are the most prone to inflexibility, so we should pay more attention, find abnormalities, and deal with them in time. After applying the oil, press the keys up and down several times to allow the oil to fully penetrate in.

    If the surface of the key is stained with oil, you can wipe it off with a soft cloth. If the instrument is exposed to rain, remove the moisture on the instrument, keys, and mat in time, and oil it in time to protect it. Special care should be taken that when oiling the keys, it is important not to apply copper piston oil.

    Because the copper pipe piston oil is a water quality oil, it will accelerate the rust of the keys after it is put on.

    Instrument Maintenance MethodCorrect instrument maintenance methods and concepts are the basic knowledge that every instrument user must have.

    Maintenance interval: once a month after each blowing.

    After each blowing: remove all parts of the flute, roll the cleaning cloth on the whole strip, remove the stains of each pipe body separately, and wipe while turning; Take out a piece of absorbent paper, place it between the mat and the sound hole, and press the tone button to completely absorb the water; Use a cleaning flannel cloth to wipe the fingerprints on the surface of the flute, and if it is still not clean, you can drop a little silver-plated detergent to make the instrument shine.

    Maintenance once a month: for the maintenance of the key, drop a little key oil on the shaft of the key, and pay attention to wipe off the excess key oil on the surface; If you feel that there is a sticky feeling between the button and the sound hole, you can use the texture paper clip in the middle to press two or three times. Adjustment of the position of the reflector, the reflector is in the head tube, insert the through bar to check whether there is displacement, whether the line of the flute through bar and the mouthpiece ** are aligned, a situation:

    Shift the whole line to the right, loosen the head tube cap, move the reflector to the left (that is, pull it outward) until it is aligned with the mouthpiece**, and tighten the cap head; B situation: the whole line is offset to the left, loosen the cap head, and move the reflector to the right (advance into the tube) until it is aligned with the mouthpiece.

    It is recommended to go to a professional instrument repair and maintenance shop at least twice a year for professional repairers to overhaul and maintain the instrument.

    There is no need to apply oil, I have used the flute for 4 years and I have never applied any oil, and after each blow, I have to tie gauze to the stick in the instrument case, reach into the flute, wipe off all the water, and then polish the outside with something like deerskin, and wipe it one key at a time.

    The flute was not washed with water, but the flute was made of metal, so it was naturally afraid of water, and it should rust or something.

    If you don't use it for a long time, the surface of the flute will oxidize, so you can buy a metal polishing agent and wipe it.

    Do not expose the flute to air for too long, it will oxidize, it is recommended to put it in the instrument case.

    The flute is a musical instrument, which should be played with heart, and more importantly, maintained with care.

    The flute is a precision musical instrument, it is strictly forbidden to fall and squeeze, do not hold the keys and connecting rods when plugging and pulling the flute, and avoid the deformation or displacement of the keys and connecting rods due to force.

    The correct way to plug and disassemble the flute is shown in the figure, when inserting the flute tail and connecting with the body, you should hold the sleeve at the front end of the body with your left hand, hold the end of the tail section with your right hand, and gently rotate it to push it into place. When inserting the mouthpiece, hold the sleeve with your right hand and insert the mouthpiece tube with your left hand. This is also the case when taking it apart after playing.

    The socket part of the flute is a precise fit, usually pay attention to the cleanliness of the socket, if there is dirt or rust stains at the socket, it will make the plugging and unplugging laborious, and it is easy to cause damage if the force is too large.

    To clean the socket part, you can wipe the outer surface of the socket and the inner surface of the sleeve with a cotton swab dipped in some alcohol, but do not wipe the silver-plated surface with alcohol.

    Flute care and wiping.

    The flute product comes with a special cleaning kit, and the inside and outside of the flute should be wiped clean and stored in a box after each use to avoid and reduce oxidation. When the surface of the silver-plated flute is oxidized and yellowed, you can use a special silver cloth to wipe it, or you can use a soft cloth dipped in a little silver oil to remove oxidation stains. The surface of the gold-plated and black-plated nickel flutes should be carefully wiped with a dry, soft cloth, and liquids such as polish should not be used lightly.

    The cleaning cloth should be cleaned and kept clean to reduce the wear of dust, dirt and other aspects on the surface of the coating. Special silver cloth should not be washed because it contains medicinal powder. In addition to the necessary cleaning and wiping of wooden flutes every time, we should also pay attention to avoid sudden changes in temperature, pay attention to heat preservation when carrying out in winter, and avoid sunlight and heat sources when storing them at ordinary times.

    In order to prevent the oxidation of the inner cavity of the flute, pay attention to wipe off the water after use, and when the key pad is sticky due to water absorption, it is necessary to insert thin absorbent paper under the button and repeatedly press it to absorb the water. Do not jerk the strip of paper when pressing to avoid abrasion of the casing membrane. Matters involving adjustment and maintenance should contact us or professionals to do, disassembly and adjustment by themselves improper will cause the transmission and coordination between the parts to be inaccurate and affect the use.

    The key rotation part should be oiled regularly, and special key oil must be used, and other oil products should not be used to avoid mechanical failure.

    1. Materials required: special cleaning sticks, soft and thin cotton cloth.

    2. Gently unscrew the head and foot joints from the flute's body. This should be done carefully. Do not touch the keys or the keyboard as these keys can be easily damaged.

    3. Thread the soft cloth through the needle-like slot at the end of the cleaning rod so that half of the cloth is on both sides of the rod. Use cloth made from a soft, thin material, such as microfibers or cotton.

    4. Wrap the cloth around the rod so that the rod is not exposed. If the rod comes into contact with the groove while cleaning, it will scratch and damage the inside of the groove.

    5. Insert the rod into each part of the groove to remove the moisture that has accumulated inside the flute.

    6. Twist the rod to clean the inside to ensure all moisture is absorbed.

    7. Wipe the outside of the flute with a cloth. Pay special attention to the ends (or tenons) where the individual parts are joined together. This is where it often accumulates. Wipe around and inside with your fingers and a cloth.

    8. Use cotton swabs to clean hard-to-reach places.

    9. After the cleaning is completed, put the individual parts into the box.

    10. Store in a dry and cool place.

    1. Soak the newly bought flute in the wax liquid at a high temperature for a few days to make the wax liquid penetrate the pipe body, then wipe the pipe wall, and then apply a layer of varnish. This can not only prevent the pipe wall from seeping water and cause dry cracking, but also improve the sensitivity of the flute's pronunciation, and can also make the flute's timbre more crisp and bright.

    2. If there is a crack in the flute pipe, you can use bladder glue or 502 glue to fill the crack and stick it firmly, which can prevent air leakage. It is also better to use lacquer or varnish.

    3. Wrap hemp rope with cloth strips to make a long rod slightly thinner than the inner diameter of the flute pipe, soak it in salt water and put it into the flute tube to keep a certain humidity in the flute tube and prevent the flute from drying out.

    4. When using the flute, it should be handled gently, and should not be bumped or dropped. When not in use, it is best to put it in the flute box, with the membrane hole facing upward, to avoid sun exposure and wind and rain. Do not put the flute in a place where the temperature is too high or too low, it is best to practice in a place with a moderate temperature.

    In the north, in the winter, spring and rainy seasons, the cold air makes the flute tube shrink suddenly, and the pipe body is easy to break, so the bamboo flute should be particularly cared for.

In winter, the weather is colder, and when playing the flute, it is easy to form water vapor, so if conditions permit, you can also make a flute gall (wrap a softer flannel cloth around the outside of a straight small wooden strip), and after the flute is used, you can use the flute tongue to stretch into the flute and gently rub it. If the flute is not used for a long time and will become dry, then you can soak it in less concentrated salt water for half an hour to increase its wetness.

    If the room is too humid and moldy, wipe it with medicated alcohol. If the paint has fallen off, repaint. The longer the bamboo flute, the better it is.

    Depending on how much money you have for the flute, you are generally not afraid of being bad, because it is not bamboo. Spend dozens of dollars to buy a flute bag, to be thick, so that the flute is not easy to crack, do not take it from a warm place to the outside at once, so that the temperature difference is large, and it is easy to crack, especially in winter. The home should not be too dry, not too humid, just appropriate.

    If you are oiled, you can wipe your hands with oil, and whether you have two sections or one whole, don't keep the two sections separated, otherwise the flute is easy to break.

    That's all I know, I hope it helps.
