Crack prevention
Carrying over from the "esron pipe" topic, is a link to Perry Yung's excellent blog with pictures of his recommendations for keeping your flute properly moisturized as edosan had also mentioned.

Re: Crack prevention
Thanks Chris for posting this. That's an excellent idea of Perry's, and now that I've got a 2.4 Earth model from Perry to protect, I started using this method yesterday. I was fortunate enough that Perry supplies plastic bags with all his flutes, so all I had to do is cut up the sponge! Quick, easy, and effective!
Yes, it's that time of year again, the heat's on, so humidify your wooden instruments!
