Questions & Answers

Does the rod have a length?

The item is 13-inch tall and 3-inch wide Seven and eight eighths of an inch. Taking a measurement was important to me.

Is there a cloth in the box to clean it?

That was not the case. A cleaning cloth was also purchased

It is also possible to use this as a tuning stick?

Marks are visible on the cleaning rod. To insert the cleaning rod into the flute head joint, insert the end of the rod with these markings into the tone hole so that the initial mark is in the center. You will know that it will sound in tune if it is in alignment with the other parts of the flute.

I can't really find anything bad about it

4/5

It does its job very well I wouldn't change a thing about it. Due to the fact that it's made of a more durable material. The price is reasonable, but this is still a good deal. It's also a little bit large compared to the metal flute box like if you put it in your flute box for me it's a little difficult to close it. I can't think of anything really bad about it.

I've found exactly what I'm looking for

5/5

My skill level as a musician would be classified as amateur. It doesn't matter to me what it is! It is the eye that catches the attention. I like how there is a large slit in the hole where I can thread the cloth. The plastic holds it in place so the cloth doesn't fall back inside my The fact that it is plastic means that it won't scratch the flute inside. Besides the tuning notch at the end of the rod, I appreciate the design. I liked the quality of the plastic, it hasn't distorted or bent. The cleaning rod slots on my flute case are too wide for most flute case cleaning rod slots, but my flute case does not have room for storage of cleaning rods.

Children will find it difficult to handle because it is so large

3/5

There is a good chance that it is intended for a horizontal application. There is too much length on this cleaning rod The size of the item makes it impossible for children for easy handling. A horizontal flute is probably the intended use for this.

The wood cleaning rod is a great alternative to the metal one I was given

5/5

To replace the metal cleaning rod I was given with my flute, I have found this to be very helpful. It may be that I scrape inside the flute while cleaning it, but that is not a problem. A plastic rod will always be preferred over a metal rod for cleaning.

Rods made of metal are more dangerous than those made of plastic

5/5

The procedure is basic but necessary for getting rid of moisture that collects inside a musical instrument after use. The plastic road provided by flute manufacturers offers more protection against scratches inside the flute while cleaning than the harsher metal road provided by it.
