Caring For Your Brass and Woodwind Instrument

Brass and woodwind instruments are an investment and worth taking the time to care for correctly to keep them performing at their best. Repair specialist Brae Grimes from Yamaha Australia demonstrates the best way to assemble and clean a flute.

One of the first and most important skills a beginning instrument player should learn is how to properly assemble, care for, clean and maintain their new instrument. Whether it be the student’s own or a school hire instrument, starting off with the right knowledge and habits to care for your instrument will hopefully prevent some costly repairs and servicing in the future. This video from Yamaha Australia shows brass and woodwind product and repair specialist Brae Grimes explain how to properly assemble and clean a flute.
