Attention all DIY-ers!!
What you see before you is a flute head joint that has had its tuning cork super glued in. Please do not attempt to super glue anything on or in an instrument! Not only can super glueing a tuning cork in place make it untunable, but it also makes the old cork extremely hard to remove in shop during cleaning or replacement. If a flute tuning cork is loose or falling out, bring it in and one of our repair technicians will be happy to help!

Warning! Warning!
There really is such thing as "too stuck."
Don't use screw drivers, pliers, hammers, etc.! These tools can cause more damage to the stubborn valve. Let us help!

Bring in your instrument and we'll get that pesky stuck valve out and working like new!
