Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

When you get a new flute, avoid playing it for long periods initially. Extended sessions can lead to moisture buildup inside the flute from your breath, which might cause damage. It's best to start with shorter sessions to prevent this issue.

After playing, ensure your flute is completely dry. Once dry, store it in a cloth flute bag to protect it from dust and moisture.

If your flute gets wet and the sound quality diminishes, don’t worry—this is temporary. You can remove the moisture by carefully shaking the flute with the blowing hole facing downward or by blowing into the flute. Additionally, you can remove the block and let the flute dry naturally.

No, it is recommended to avoid leaving your flute in a hot car or near heat sources. Extreme temperature changes can cause damage to the wood.

Regularly oil your flute with natural vegetable oils, such as walnut oil, flaxseed oil, or pure olive oil. Oiling helps prevent moisture absorption and protects the wood over time. Be sure to apply oil only when the flute is completely dry.

Avoid eating or drinking while playing the flute, as food particles from your breath can damage it. Additionally, it's best to limit the number of people using your flute to maintain its condition.
