The Flute Pad Revolution: A Symphony of Sustainability
Are you a flute enthusiast always on the lookout for the next big thing in instrument care and maintenance? Well, prepare to be blown away by a recent innovation that's been the talk of the flute world, albeit in hushed tones until now.
Welcome to the world of Poriflola, a groundbreaking padding system that's set to transform flutes globally. In this week's episode of Talking Flutes, we delve deep into this hush-hush topic that's been quietly making waves among the flute community.
For too long, flutists have faced the perennial problem of sticky pads and the annual ritual of servicing. But the Poriflola padding system promises to put an end to these woes. Crafted from a unique composite material made from recycled fruit skins and olive oil, these pads are not just waterproof, but they also offer the perfect combination of resilience and flexibility.
Imagine playing your flute with pads that guarantee a perfect hermetic seal every time. That's what Poriflola promises – a nirvana for flutists. And the best part? These eco-friendly pads are quicker for technicians to replace and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Our host, Jean Paul Wright, takes us on a journey, revealing how a team of environmentally conscious flute repairers embarked on a quest to address the global shortage of flute pads. Their exploration into eco-baselines led them to this serendipitous discovery that's been tested in secret over the past 18 months. The result? A silent ode to the harmonious coexistence of music and sustainability.
But there's a twist! These revolutionary pads have already been installed in flutes during routine maintenance, without the players' knowledge. The rationale? To avoid bias and truly test their effectiveness. Flutists have been playing, unaware of the sustainable symphony beneath their fingertips, only to be delighted upon discovering the truth about their instrument's brilliant response.
This episode isn't just about a new product; it's a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of flute technicians – the unsung heroes of the music world. With Poriflola, the annual flute service has become a breeze. These pads can be cleaned in a washing machine, extending their life and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
This podcast lifts the lid on this revolutionary new pad made from recycled fruit skins (Apricot, Pear, Red current, Ice apple, Lemon, Fig, Orange, Olive and Lychee) which will revolutionise padding, our annual flute servicing and COA.
