I was hoping someone could tell me what kind of glue I should use to fasten a loose silver ring on my Olwell keyed flute.
Thanks!

Re: Loose ring on Olwell flute
Strongly suggest you humidify first. Winter time with central heating can be extremely bad for wooden flutes. Loose rings are a warning sign that the flute is drying out and shrinking. Until you get it soaking in a 50% RH environment for a couple of days I would recommend you take extreme care in assembly, and if tenons seem tight, don't force them.

- Tell us something.: I started with playing bamboo flutes. But I transitioned to primarily playing the Boehm flute a few lessons ago with the aim of getting good music instruction. However, I've been transitioning to playing Irish Traditional Music on simple flutes.
