Professional Custom Flutes

Tone Hole Fileset

$250

We do not manufacture this set, but the quality and usefulness of this product cannot be passed up. We would love to put a set in the hands of every repair tech out there, and here's why. When a flute has been built with little care for the tone holes, (read, student flutes) often the tops of the holes are badly deformed and far, far from flat. With the advent of perfectly flat pads and inserted pad foundation washers, it’s possible to pad a flute without the use of many partial shims under the pads... as long as the tone holes are up to snuff. With these leveling tools, that job becomes a cinch.
