Do you play the flute?🪈🐙 OCTOBAND together with IMC!

The flute brings lightness, movement, and sparkle to the band. Whether it’s carrying the melody or adding shimmer to the full ensemble, the flute helps brighten the whole sound.

Band season can be tough on instruments, so flute players may need swabs, cleaning rods, polishing cloths, lyres, flip folders, or the occasional repair.

If your flute starts making any creepy sounds this October, IMC is here to help remove the curse and get it playing its best.

🎷 Soprano sax players: make friends with a chromatic tuner.

The soprano has a gorgeous voice, but it isn’t particularly interested in hiding your intonation problems. 😅

Small changes in embouchure and voicing can make a noticeable difference in pitch.

Slow down, listen carefully and spend some quality time with a tuner or drone.

Your future bandmates will appreciate it. 💜

The best way to know if you like a new piece of gear is to play it. IMC believes making sure new AND used instruments are ready to play is instrumental. Check out what all Denny, one of our talented luthiers, does for guitars and basses before they make it to the floor.
