Cleaning and maintenance
Sterilize the lip plate.
Occasionally, check the head cork placement by using your tuning/cleaning rod, which should be centered in the embouchure hole. Do not try to adjust the cork yourself.
To clean the flute body, insert the corner of a lint-free cloth through the small hole at the top of the cleaning rod.
Key oil can be used once a month or so, but be careful and use a small amount to avoid getting any on the pads
