Servicing

As Flute and Clarinet specialists, we service and clean all our second-hand instruments in house

We fully dismantle the mechanisms of the flute or clarinet in order to clean them thoroughly
The keys and pads are checked for leaks and regulated or replaced
The hinge tubes are cleaned and the rods oiled as appropriate
The springs are re-tensioned or replaced as necessary
For a flute, the cork is removed from the head-joint, allowing us to wash it
thoroughly, removing all traces of the previous owner
The head-joint is correctly tuned
The clarinet mouthpiece is completely washed and sterilised
Clarinet tenon corks are replaced as necessary and greased prior to sale
Key bumpers are checked and replaced using cork or felt
