Lighted Flute Tone Hole Gauge
Our lighted tone hole gauge is the ultimate way to locate flute tone hole imperfections. Before setting flute pads make sure that the tone hole is flat enough for a pad to seal with first touch. The tool is made of a comfortable and beautiful wooden handle, a precision ground and hardened gauge and a light with replaceable battery that shines into the tone hole illuminating gaps between the hole and the gauge. $39.50 |

Valentino "Q" Felt
Made entirely of recycled materials, Valentino Q Felt is a dense material applied to keywork where you might have used felt or cork. Soft to the touch and forgiving, Q Felt is dimensionally stable and won't get hard with age-it always runs quite!
Since we control the dimensions in our fabrication processes, the thickness is dialed in finer than ever possible with felt.
We provide Q felt to some of the most particular factories and workshops around the globe.
You may use a variety of adhesives to adhere Q Felt. We use primarily contact cement.
Manufacturers may request a quote on fabricated Pre-Cut shapes as well. |
