| Town Talk Silver Polish
Cloths
Large or small cloths impregnated with silver polish. These are the only cleaning material you should use for the surface of your flute. Polishes and liquids are much too abrasive and can cause damage to pads and mechanism. |

The Original H.W. Padsavers
These are not for drying your flute but should be placed in the flute, after cleaning, to absorb any extra moisture. They are left inside until the next time you play (don't forget to take them out again!). An excellent cure for recurrent problems with sticky pads.

FINGERFAX
These durable plastic charts have a fingering chart
on one side, covering three and a half octaves, and a trill chart on the
reverse, covering three octaves. They are small enough to fit in your
flute bag so that you can take them to all your rehearsals, lessons etc.
An absolute must for reference.
SEIKO ST747
The ST747 chromatic tuner has a simple liquid crystal
display which emulates a 'needle' display. It has an automatic tuning
function and a manual function. The manual setting allows you to
choose the note you wish to tune to, the automatic function tells you which
note you are playing. The tuner can be calibrated for concert 'A'
pitches between 435Hz and 446Hz. It is powered by a 9 volt battery.
SEIKO ST909
The ST909 chromatic tuner has a needle display with
a luminescent background and 'pit light'. It has the same 'auto'
and 'manual' tuning functions as the ST747 but can be calibrated for a
range of concert 'A' pitches between 415Hz and 446Hz It
is powered by a 9 volt battery but also has a separate input to take 9
volts DC from a transformer (not supplied). The casing has an integral
stand.
SEIKO ST1100
The ST1100 chromatic tuner is an upgrade to the ST909.
It has all the same functions as the ST909 but also has the ability to
indicate which octave the note played is in, over a range of -4 to +3 around
'middle C'. It also has a note generation function over the range
-2 to +2 around 'middle C' for those who prefer to tune to a note. As with
the ST909 it is powered by either 9 volt battery or 9 volt transformer
DC input (not supplied). The casing has an integral stand.
KORG AT2
The AT2 has a needle display with 'pit light'.
It automatically detects the note played and can be calibrated over a range
of concert 'A' between 438Hz and 445Hz. It is powered by a 9 volt
battery.
KORG AT1
The
AT1 also has a needle display with pit light. It has all the
same functions as the AT2 but also has a note generation function over
-2 to +2 octaves around 'middle C' for those who prefer to tune to a note.
It is powered either by a 9 volt battery or a 9 volt DC input from a transformer
(not supplied).
YAMAHA TD-1
This is the most compact of our chromatic tuners.
It comes in its own cassette sized casing, has an LED display and can be
calibrated for concert 'A' between 438Hz and 445Hz. It has a useful
'transposition' function which allows you to tune instruments in Eb/F and
Bb without fuss. It is powered by a 3V CR2025 lithium battery (similar
to a watch battery) and has a 'battery low' indicator.
A handy 'clip on' metronome which will fit nicely on to your music stand etc. It has a high pitched 'beep' to indicate the beat along with a visual indication on the LCD screen. The sound can be switched off. The beat can be incremented between 30 and 250 beats per minute. The metronome also has a clock function, useful for keeping track of your practice time! It is available in a Black or White casing. It is powered by a 3V CR2025 lithium battery.
SEIKO DM-20
This stylish, compact metronome is the same size as
a credit card (but thicker!) making it portable enough to carry anywhere.
It produces a high pitched 'beep' for the beat and also has a beat change
function, giving a higher pitch first beat for up to 7 beats in a bar.
It also has a quaver, triplet quaver and semiquaver function and an A=440Hz
tuning note. The sound can be switched off, leaving just a visual
beat indicator on the LCD screen or there is an earphone socket (earphone
not supplied). The beat can be incremented between 30 and 250 beats
per minute. It is available in Black, Gold or White casing
styles. A handy 'hole' in the casing allows you to use a pencil to
stand the metronome up on a table surface for easy viewing. It is
powered by a 3V CR2025 lithium battery.
SEIKO SQ-44
A simple box style metronome with a dial on the front
to set the tempo. The beat is selected from speeds in pre-set intervals
(i.e. not increases of one beat per minute). There is also a position
on the dial which produces a tuning note A at 440Hz. The
beat sound is a pleasant 'click' reminiscent of the old clockwork metronomes
but this can be turned off and a simple flashing LED can be used to indicate
the beat or an earphone socket is provided (earphone not supplied).
It is powered by a 9 volt battery.
YAMAHA QT1
This unusual metronome looks very 'space age' and comes in a turquoise colour. It has two 'click' tones, very like a clockwork metronome in sound and also a volume control. There is a flashing LED on the top for the tempo so if you do get fed up with your choice of sounds you can just turn the volume right down. Tempos are set by a dial at pre-set intervals and there is also an A at 440Hz for tuning. It is powered by a 9 volt battery.

Stand
The most portable flute stand is the Konig and Meyer
stand. It is a lightweight folding stand which has three legs that
tuck in next to the spike. It is easy to carry in your gig bag for
those times when you have to play flute and piccolo and don’t fancy sitting
with your flute on your lap.

This stand is much more sturdy but very heavy..probably
too heavy to carry around all day with you so don’t plan on giging with
this one! It has a solid cast iron base so it’s ideal for home
use.
