Week 8- Finishing Flute Repairs

After soft soldering a post back together on my Music & Arts flute, I had some clean up to do.  After wiping to tin and using a very small amount of Light Green Compound on blue cloth, I used a silver polish to buff away the excess material.  While there were some surface scratch marks remaining, I was able to remove the majority of the cosmetic damage.  

 I then finished the repad on the body of the flute.  Once the pads were seating and I put the flute in the oven, I was able to cork the body and regulate it.  I was able to eliminate all lost motion. Finally, I polished the body and keys for a final product that I was very pleased with.
