sempre|flute Tarnish Saver Practice Series

Protect your flute, or silver instrument, in style with our innovative, universal, anti-tarnish, handmade Tarnish Savers.

Created in collaboration with sempre|flute & Schmitt Music Flute Gallery.

Crafted with the same high-quality fabric from the Artist Series, sempre|flute Tarnish Savers protect your flute from tarnishing right in your flute case. The combination of Sempre’s premium, Artist Series cotton and anti-tarnish treated fabric creates an innovative way to protect your flute from tarnishing while you aren't even playing!

How it works

Silver tarnish accumulates when the metal is exposed to sulfur-containing gases from the environment. The metal erodes and oxidizes, creating dark discoloration when in contact with these gasses. The anti-tarnish treated cotton absorbs the tarnish-causing sulfur compounds right in your flute case.

You may notice that the Silver Savers do not cover the entire surface area of the flute. But this isn't necessary due to the exact reasons above! The Silver Saver's purpose is to absorb those unsavory sulfur gasses that discolor your instrument--it does not need to be in physical contact with every part of the instrument to be effective.
