How often does a flute need servicing?

How do I know if my flute is broken?
Turn the flute over and look at the pads (under the keys). Do not touch the pads with anything (damage). Look for fraying, peeling, puffing, or tears in the “skin” of the pads. If you see any of these, your flute can limp along for a while, but probably needs repair depending on the severity of the tears.

CHECKING FOR PAD LEAKS Visually inspect the pads. Look for tears or spots where the pads have worn through.
