Flute tuning rod?

Question

I have a Vito flute that I bought off ebay and it didnt come with a tuning rod. It has been a while since i have been in HS band and I can't remember if all tuning rods will work on all standard flutes. I know i have serious tuning issues and that I need to adjust the cork, but I want to make sure that I will be checking it properly. Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

All tuning rods work universally for all flutes.  I would suggest getting a nice wood one as opposed to the thin metal ones, just because the wood one won't scratch the interior of the flute as a metal one might.

Answer 2

i'm pretty sure all tuning rods are the same.

Answer 3

The best solution for a flute would be a sledgehammer.

Answer 4

I agree with the above answer. If you can, get a wooden one rather than a metal one. It shouldn't cost much more and won't scratch the inside of your flute. And yes, all cleaning rods should be the same!
