Are there specific care instructions for the unique materials used in your flutes?

Ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of your flute requires proper care and maintenance. Follow these guidelines:

1. Clean the flute after each practice session:
To maintain the instrument's integrity, it's essential to clean it regularly. After each practice session, gently wipe the exterior with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints and moisture. Additionally, use a cleaning rod and a lint-free cloth to clean the interior of the flute, paying particular attention to the headjoint, body joint, and footjoint. This routine not only keeps your flute looking pristine but also prevents the build-up of dirt or debris that can affect its sound quality over time.

2. Store the flute in its case:
When not in use, always store your flute in its designated case. This provides protection against environmental factors such as humidity and oxidation. Flutes are sensitive to changes in moisture and air, which can impact their performance and lifespan. Keeping the instrument in its case helps maintain a stable environment, preserving the quality of the materials and preventing potential damage.

3. Schedule regular check-ups:
Consider sending your flute for a comprehensive check-up on an annual or regular basis. It is advised to visit the Altus dealer or flute pro shop where you purchased the instrument. Professional technicians can assess and address any potential issues, ensuring that your flute remains in optimal condition. Regular maintenance by experienced professionals helps identify and resolve minor concerns before they become more significant problems, contributing to the overall longevity and performance of your flute.
