Thanks for your informative useful videos. Sometimes the written visuals comes in the way of your demonstrate visuals and blocking them from view. Kindly do something to avoid blocking.

the bar for my left hand keys is loose, and i think it might just be that it isnt fastened securely but im not sure how to tell, i imagine if i could take it off i could figure it out but i cant find any guide really showing me how

What were the pliers you used in this video called? Also, I have a different mechanism for the left hand keys. There’s 2 pins next to the “E” key where, in the student flute you showed, there was only 1 pin next to the “E” key. I don’t know what to do about this

All of the tools he mentions are listed above (on the line starting with #E3) ... in case you didn't notice that. By the way: the left hand does not play the "E" key. You should get a new flute teacher.

Hello. I worked that pin which is right hand section, but the pin was broken and sticked in the hole. Did you have experience like this case?

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

Yes, that happens some times. The process is very similar to removing a needle spring that is broken off inside a post. Here is a link to that video.

I hope this helps. If it does not work, there are still a couple more options.

Hello.
What is that black plate made of? The one that you were punching the pins into with the hammer?

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

That is a lead block. You can get one from Ferree's Tools. It is #L24.
