Loose joint problem
I have a 20+ year old flute whose joint is loose (I moved from a wet climate to a dry climate). I've had it since new. Can anyone advise how I could tighten the joint? Should I try using lacquer?
Thanks!

Re: Loose joint problem
Hi opaekaa,
Try storing your flute separated in a humid box with about 70 degrees of humidity for a few days. That may tighten the joint. Or, many people use plumbers tape since it goes on and comes off easily.
Namaste, Perry
