To continue to toot your flute and play your pic, don't fail to follow the instructions below

 

description   procedure  frequency
 Clean bore  Use a "cat-tail" swab and clean and dry the bore of each piece of the flute.  after each use
 Remove fingerprints  Use a dry, untreated cloth (handkerchief or such) to wipe fingerprints from the keys and body.  This helps prevent staining and tarnishing.  after each use
 Dusting  Use a small, soft paint brush to remove dust and dirt from under keys.  As you brush, blow the loosened material away.  See Warnings  monthly
 Oil mechanisms  Use a straight pin, dipped in key oil, applied to the joint between each key and post and between keys. See Warnings  monthly
 Clean head joint  Swish your head joint in cool, soapy water, rinse and let dry.  If you have an extra "cat-tail" swab, your can use it to scrub the bore of the head joint, but the swab will take a while to dry, so use it only for this procedure and get another for the daily wipe and dry procedure above.  monthly
