Clean, Oil, & Adjust
It's been a year since it's been serviced right? And you're working a little bit harder than usual... Easy!
I take it apart, clean it, give it a gentle polish, and change all of your key oil.
I check and adjust every pad and key for a perfect seal, and a buttery feel under the fingers. Playing should be easy.
I change the headjoint cork. NO ONE likes mold in their flute!
​
Lastly, I give it a thorough test play. Only a pro player can feel if it's ready. Luckily, I am one! Mozart to Jolivet. Got it!
Overhauls... My Specialty!
You've been playing a LOT, and it's just too much work! Pads are getting old, and your flute feels sloppy. Happens all the time!
​
I take it apart, clean it, and take care of any dents or cosmetic issues.
I make sure the keys are fitting tight, but disappear under your fingers.
Toneholes should still be flawless. If not? No biggie! I've got it.
Pads affect your sound. So I help you choose what's best for your flute and for your style of playing.
Installation and finishing second to none. Period.
​
Like new shoes, new parts need to be broken in. I take care of this for you so your instrument is stable and reliable.
