Perfectly adjusted and great sounding open hole flute

This flute resembles gold and silver, and it’s beautiful, however you need to be very careful with the body so that the lacquer doesn’t wear off too soon. For cleaning you can use Yamaha lacquer polish available around the world as far as I know. Eventually the lacquer will wear off, and it will need to be re-applied. Check your local brass instrument repair shop. They might be experienced with the process, although any flute repair shop could do it as well. Just take it apart, lightly polish, and spray with good quality transparent lacquer.  In the meantime if you notice some spots that have developed tarnish, you can use a little bit of lacquer spray locally. Just clean the spot first of greese and dirt.
