Detail 01
Wood rather than plastic or metal
Won't scratch the bore or key mechanism the way a bare metal rod can if the cloth slips.

YamahaWooden Flute Cleaning Rod
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Wooden rod that carries a cleaning swab through a flute's body after playing. Basic maintenance item for any flute player.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drying the bore after a practice session or rehearsal
- Replacing a rod missing from a used flute case
- A second rod kept in a school locker or gig bag
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone expecting a swab or cloth — the rod is bare
- Clarinet or saxophone bores, which use different tools
- Players who want a soft pull-through cord instead of a rigid rod
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Eyelet at one end
You thread a cleaning cloth through and wrap it so no bare rod touches the inside of the tube.
Detail 03
Rigid rod design
Pushes a cloth through the headjoint and body sections one at a time, unlike a weighted pull-through.
Detail 04
Flute-specific length and diameter
Sized for flute tubing. Too slim and long to be useful in a clarinet or sax bore.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cleaning cloth or gauze is not included — you supply the swab
- 02Wrap the cloth fully so wood never contacts the bore directly
- 03Wood can warp or split if stored wet; let it dry between uses
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does a cleaning cloth come with it?
No. This is the rod on its own. You thread your own cloth or gauze through the slot at the end.
02Why wood instead of plastic?
Wood is gentler on the bore and less likely to mar the inside of the tube if the cloth shifts while you're swabbing.
03How do I use it?
Thread a cloth through the eyelet, wrap the rod so no wood is exposed, then run it through the headjoint and body separately.
04Will it fit a piccolo?
No. Piccolos have a much narrower bore and take their own smaller rod.
