What cleaning product is good for cleaning flutes?

After you use your flute and before you store it, you must always remember to clean or dry it. This is because when you blow into the flute, moisture forms inside which can cause the pads to deteriorate. There are some tips for cleaning flute: Use a clean cloth (flannel cloth or a J cloth is good as long as it's not too long or too short) to clean the inside of your flute. Fold the cloth lengthwise in half and thread the edge of the cloth through the slot on the cleaning rod. The cloth must be wrapped snugly on the edge of the rod so that you'll be able to clean the inside of your flute better. Wrap the rest of the cloth tightly around the rod and securely hold the end of the cloth and rod with your hand to avoid bunching up and getting stuck when cleaning the inside of the flute. Now push the cloth-covered rod all the way inside your flute and twist it as you move in and out. Be very careful when doing this. The head joint is the part of the flute that gets the most moisture so be sure to give it a thorough drying. The outside of the flute may be cleaned by gently using a clean damp cloth. Microfiber cloth is a good choice. Now you can store your flute in its case when you're not using it. This will ensure that your flute will last longer and perform well.

Can you wash gemeinhardt flute?

You can wash any flute if you were expecting to change all the pads on the flute. Otherwise the water could change how the pads cover the holes on the flute. In other words the pads should cover the holes completely in order for the flute to blow properly. If your concern is for the flute to be clean enough for another person to use it, usually you would be concerned with cleaning the headjoint, particularly the lip plate that touches the lower lip when you play the flute. Hope this helps. alvidovich@yahoo.com
