My pads are always sticky, I can clean them like a hundred times with rolling papers, but that never works. My questions is, I''ve heard people talking about using lotion on a q-tip to seal up pads, how do you do this? Or there any other methods for sticky pads? My music store is all out of power pa...

Well that`s what I thought (that it was just removing
dirt) at first, but I cleaned the same spot a couple of times and it would still
have black-silverish residue left on the cloth, my flute is not that dirty!, i
don't think, lol..

I recently just got a polishing cloth for my flute, and
the cloth is made by York, and when I use it on the flute it leaves a
silver/blackish colored residue on the cloth, is this bad? Is it stripping away
silver from my flute? Please help, i`m concerned, thanks - falling4ever3

a split e mechinism is a special attachment on flutes (usually
on high - end flutes) that allows for the easier reach of... high e... these is
also a high e facilitator which does pretty much the same thing, but in a
different way.. hope that helps [:)]

thanks for all your comments, and to the dude with cowboy hat, I changed the spelling from "embrochure" to embouchure, thanks for catching my mistake [:)] and evanscence does rock! and to flute lovers mom, I thought about what you said, so I added a warning and some more information, to that page......

Well it probably is, but I have heard that you
shouldn't use lubricants cause all they do is attract dirt and oil on your
flute.

I just created this website, tell me what u think.. it''s on the flute, and when I created it, I thought of what it was like to first start out on the flute, hope u like it... P.S. If you have anything, such as an article or story, or something, and would like to add it to the site, please email me ...

i think it's a matter of
opinion, maybe you have just lost interest cause you have been playing for so
long... try and find sheet music that interests you, that could help
