Altieri Flute Wand (Extendable)
Purchase the extension with your flute wand as a combo and get $1 off!
Altieri Flute Wands are the most effective way to swab the inside of an instrument to remove moisture. The design of the Wand helps clean the entire bore including the important (but often ignored) cork plate. Your Wand is made with a purple fabric absorbent area which is mounted to a plastic rod. There is no area or material which may scratch the vital bore of your instrument.
The Altieri Flute Wand is a one piece unit which is long enough to swab either the body, foot, or headjoint. The Wand fits conveniently in the flute case cover. Ideally, store the wetted Wand in an outside pocket in the case cover. This allows the moisture to evaporate without effecting the instrument.
When cleaning the Altieri Flute Wand should be hand washed in gentle liquid dishwashing detergent and lukewarm water. Washing the fabric of the Wand helps activate the absorbency of the fabric - even on a new Wand. When soaking, make sure that the suds permeate the fabric, then rinse and air dry. Your Wand will be most absorbent when it is clean.
A screw-in extension is available to lengthen your wand so it can swab out your entire flute without needing to disassemble the instrument. Also available separately.

This is important function when swabbing during a performance. When the Wand is disassembled, it fits conveniently in the piccolo case cover. Ideally, store the wetted Wand in an outside pocket in the case cover. This allows the moisture to evaporate without effecting the instrument. Your Altieri Piccolo Wand has a purple colored fabric absorbent mounted to a carbon fiber rod. This allows for high strength while keeping the stick small enough to get into any piccolo.
