The Flute Dryer was invented to help the everyday flute player gain more playtime with their favorite Native American flutes and protect the investment they've made in flutes. Wetting out is an issue that we've all faced and, while some flute makers are addressing this issue in the construction of the flute, the majority of the flutes in our collections don't have these new methods built-in. That's where the Flute Dryer comes in. 

Depending on how a flute is made, once you wet it out, it may be done for the rest of the day. This Flute Dryer gives you back that playtime by drying your flute out in as little as 2 minutes! 

 

 

Benefits

  • This device has a solid, wooden box-shaped base that houses a 1-amp fan that blows cool, dry air into your flute. This dramatically reduces the time in which it takes to "air out" your flute after you've saturated it.
  • The small size of the Flute Dryer makes it easy to transport to gigs, camping or flute circles! 
  • It plugs in via USB so you can use an adapter to plug it into the wall, or directly into your computer or power bank if you're on the go!
  • The holder at the top is adjustable to accommodate both small and large flutes so you can use this for the majority of your flute collection!
  • The Flute Dryer speeds up dry time which takes some of the headache and long wait times out of proper flute maintenance. Dry your flutes before you hang them back up! 
  • The biggest benefit is that it supports the overall health and longevity of your flutes when using this after each play (even if your flute hasn't reached full wet-out)! 

 

How does it work? 

  1. Remove the bird from your flute (or obstruct the airflow with a piece of leather, etc.) 
  2. Place the flute upside down on the Flute Dryer and rest the mouthpiece on the rubber opening. If you have a smaller flute, there is a rod below the opening to catch them. 
  3. Turn the fan on and let it work its magic! 
  4. Under 5 minutes seems to be the sweet spot, but it greatly depends on the flute. Check it and see how your flute is responding.

Excellent Flutdryer

This is such a wonderful tool to air out the flute perfectly and very quickly one can use the flute again if one wants or put it on the stand with a good feeling that the flute is dry and not wet anymore. Also, it came so perfectly packed and I could feel the love and attention with which the flute dryer came to me. Thank you very much, Jonny, and your team!

Love it!

Just got the flute dryer, and it’s great. It’s well made and easy to assemble and use. I popped my one flute that wets out super fast into it and in five minutes was able to play it again. The cord is quite short, but luckily I found the perfect spot for the whole unit. I think this was a brilliant idea and well thought out application.

Flute dryer

Works well. A must have in my opinion. My only gripe is the power cord is to short.

Overall, a "must have" for NAF musicians!

I've wanted one of these ever since I saw Jonny advertising them some time ago. So, I finally bought one, and I am very glad that I did.

My only quibbles are that the power cord is very short; scarcely a foot long. Secondly, the slot on the C shaped wooden holder is not large enough to set my large contra bass flute in, but it does work to slide it in from the top, and then pull it back out vertically. Another point is that it doesn't really seem conducive for drying drone flutes, although you can work around this by drying one side at a time.

Otherwise, it's very quiet, easy to operate,
and does a good job of drying out the slow air chamber; I'm looking forward to many years of good use from it. Thanks Jonny and team for this great product!

Probably should be considered essential equipment

Its a real hassle to take the block off these flutes to let them dry out after only playing for 20 minutes at a time. Often I forget and risk growing mold inside the slow air chamber. This device is cheap insurance. Instead of removing the block to prevent a whistling sound playing while the air is blowing through the flute on the dryer, I simply tie a knot in the leather fetish tie at the very end of the tie, and insert this knit into the true sound hole. This prevents annoying noise and eliminates need to remove block
