srry guys i have another post same content i just messed up the title and didnt know how to fix it

YOU should take it into the shop. Pads are hard to replace by yourself and a pro fessional can do it in less than a day.

u should just get it fixed. it will prolly be cheaper. and they could prolly check out the whole flute and make sure that there isn`t ne thing else wrong with it

send it away to get fixed their are places u can send it to just fix certain parts my band teacher sends them away all the time for things like pads and screws and corks being loose
