Frequently Asked Questions

The poly-conical bore promotes a more even airflow and richer tone, reducing the 'airy' quality sometimes found in student flutes.
While nickel silver is durable, it’s not as forgiving as solid silver; careful handling is still needed to avoid dents, especially for less experienced players.
Regular polishing with a silver cloth is essential to prevent tarnish on the silver plating; occasional professional cleaning is recommended to maintain optimal performance.
