Everytime my band director isn't working with the flutes, they all take out their cloths and start cleaning away their flute. Us alto saxes look at them in awe, with their mighty flute-cleaning powers.
O_O
Sometimes they get so carried away that they don't finish their cleaning in time to play the song!
Are you obsessed with cleaning your instrument? Or do you just leave it there for months and months and months...
I tend to wipe out the spit when I have time after practise or when I'm starting to notice a weird noise from my sax because of all that saliva. sweatdrop

I'm also one of those flutes... I find it hard to play when it's dirty because it isn't shiny! biggrin

It's nasty to play on a dirty flute, and a shiny flute looks so pretty. If I had the cleaning stuff for it I'd be doing the same thing. But unfortunantly my sax playing ex stole the cleaning rode from my case and now I can't clean the inside of my precious flute out, and he's spit in it, so it's pretty icky when I go to play to think that his nasty spit has been in the head joint.

You must understand, that most flutists (like me xd ) Have a love for shiny things. So that is why we clean our flutes all of the time

I actually play my flute in band. I clean my flute before and after I play it. Its good to clean off the tarnish because us flutes sometimes get tarnish on our lips and to prevent that, we clean them off.

I'm a horn not a flute, but I still can't imagine cleaning my instrument so often. It's been over a year since I even last wiped mine down, unless you count the times I took it to the shop and they gave it back all shiny.

I used to clean mine all the time way back,but I've had the flute for...oh...5 years. She just doesn't shine like she used to, and I lost the cleaning cloth. I keep trying to remember to get one when I go to beacock's, but I always forget.

Yes, I'm a flute and I believe that we do it for our love of shiny objects. Plus, a shiny flute is good for our image. ninja
I hardly ever clean my flute...I just have a fluffy cleaning rod that I insert into it after I'm done playing, when I put my instrument back into its case.
