Instructions
Step One
Clean the barrel and headjoint thoroughly to remove dirt and oils.
Step Two
Begin by placing the sixteenth of an inch measurement label on the underside of the body of the flute barrel as shown.
Next, insert the headjoint completely into the body. Then line up the headjoint with the body of the flute as desired, either by yourself or with your teacher's help.
Step Three
Once everything is positioned, place the indicator label on the underside of the headjoint, and make sure it lines up with the number 8 on the measurement label. Number 8 is the middle one. As you go along, you might find that using a higher or lower number for the headjoint works better. If you make a change, remember the new number because it's what you'll use every time you put your flute together.
