Replacement Pads for Flute Repair
Shop flute pads and related supplies for individual pad replacement, professional repads and ongoing instrument maintenance. Proper pad selection, installation and seating are essential for creating a dependable seal across the flute’s tone holes.
Flute pads must match the key cup dimensions and the requirements of the individual instrument. Pad thickness, diameter, construction and installation method can all affect the finished repair.
Measure and Fit Flute Pads Carefully
Remove the existing pad and inspect the clean key cup before taking measurements. Check the cup for damage, levelness and roundness, and confirm the condition of the tone hole and keywork.
Dry fit the selected pad to verify its diameter and thickness before installation. The pad should fit without wrinkling, bending or becoming distorted. Final seating and adjustment should be completed using appropriate flute repair techniques.
