Description

Product Overview

The MusicGear Flute Open Hole Plugs are crafted from premium silicone, offering a soft yet durable barrier for the open holes of C major flutes. Each plug measures 8 × 3 mm (0.3 × 0.1 in) and provides a moderate tension that stays in place without slipping. Packaged in a compact box of 6.73 × 3.74 × 0.55 in, the 50‑piece set weighs just 1.13 oz, making it ideal for travel and storage. Designed specifically for beginners, these plugs help develop correct hand positioning while protecting the instrument’s delicate keywork.

FAQ

Can these plugs be used on flutes other than C major?

Yes, the dimensions match most standard open‑hole flutes, including alto and piccolo models, though a fit check is recommended.

How do I install the plug without damaging the flute?

Gently press the plug into the open hole until it seats snugly. The silicone’s flexibility prevents any scratching or deformation of the key.

Are the plugs safe for children?

The silicone is non‑toxic and BPA‑free, but small parts should be kept away from children under three years old to avoid choking hazards.

Will the plugs affect the flute’s tone?

When properly installed, the plugs have minimal impact on resonance, allowing a clear tone while providing the needed coverage.

How often should I replace the plugs?

With regular care, the silicone remains elastic for years. Replace only if you notice tearing or loss of elasticity.
