How do I maintain a flute?

Flutes are delicate instruments, but a few simple habits go a long way. Keep an eye on pad condition, check that joints fit smoothly, and always assemble the instrument gently - no forcing or twisting. If you spot any leaks, sticky keys, or misaligned rods, ask a technician to take a look before it becomes a bigger problem.

Through our Progressive Instrument Partnership with Yamaha Music UK, we’re helping educators and parents understand how to care for their instruments, extending their life and protecting their sound.
