How to maintain purple bamboo flute

1. Don't play the flute, put it in the flute box or sleeve to avoid the wind and sun, which will cause the flute to break or dust to enter.

2. After each blow, be sure to pour out the saliva in the flute tube. It is best to make a cloth brush. After the saliva is poured out, poke it in and wipe it gently, then put it in a box or bag. In this way, saliva will not be moldy and smelly in the flute tube, which will make the flute tube rot.

3. When the weather is too hot or too dry, it is best to make a "flute bladder" (use a small stick with the same length as the flute tube, wrap several layers of clean cloth and coat it with some vaseline oil), and when it is not blowing, it can be stuffed into the flute tube to prevent the flute body from breaking. The thickness of "flute airbag" should adapt to the thickness of flute tube. If it's thick, it won't fit in. If it's thin, it won't touch the bamboo wall and won't play the role of moistening the flute.

If the flute is played for a long time, there will be a lot of dust in the flute tube. Dust, combined with the infiltration of air and water, forms dirt over time, which is not only unsanitary, but also often stinks, even affecting timbre and intonation. It needs to be washed at this time. Especially comrades who don't have flute boxes and sleeves, wash their flutes once in a while. When washing, be careful that the water temperature is neither too hot nor too cold. Generally, it is advisable to immerse your hands in water without being cold or hot. Because the water is too cold, dirty things can't be washed clean, the water is too hot, the flute absorbs too much water, which is not good for the flute, and bamboo is easy to change and break. In addition, soft cloth or absorbent cotton can be used. And wrap a stick around it (the stick should be thin but not too thick and too solid) and soak it in water (detergent, soap, etc.). ) come and brush it. But don't use washing powder and soap because they are irritating and easy to destroy the inner wall of bamboo.
