Why dont you just replace the pad -.-.....

[DavidFrenchMusicCo]

@blade0360 The pad Roman spends most of the video working on was replaced, but every pad needs to be properly shimmed and checked. Our repair policy is that every instrument we send back to our customers should be in perfect playing condition.

It is in fact cassette tape! The name we use for it is feeler gauge. It's used to check leakage in the pad.

your feeler gage is too wide

@IcyxPetal Thanks for asking! It depends completely on what needs to be done. If your flute needs a little tune-up or a complete mechanical restoration the cost varies greatly. If you are in the area, the easiest thing to do is bring it down to our shop and drop it off.

What exactly the tool you are using at the 2:43 segment, it is like a tape inside a cassette. Very interesting and what exactly the function applying it by pulling it again and again to the pad?
