Review: Works well with thin cloth to clean moisture from inside flute - I personally just don't like the plastic rod so purchased this steel cleaning rod which works well with a thin cloth to clean moisture from my flute. I recommend. Excellent quality and fit. Review: Purchased for Weaving, and what a great tool!!! - As a flutist in my youth, I knew these rods were like a long, blunted needle with a large eye. I purchased 2 flute cleaning rods for a very special purpose - to use as a weaving needle. They are wonderful! In a particular style of loom weaving I enjoy, I needed something about a foot long (the rod is 14.25"), with an eye that would accommodate bulky fibers and yarns (the eye is 0.75" in length, and 0.25" in width). The very best part about this cleaning rod is that the end where the eye hole is is flattened, and therefore is much thinner (compared to the one I have that was delivered years ago with my flute purchase). I was unaware this end would be thinner when I ordered these, but what a pleasant surprise! This helps me as a weaver because the pick-up of the warp on a flat loom (without a shed or heddle) is much easier. Weavers may ask why I didn't just buy a small shuttle, or a weaving needle (usually wooden). I didn't want a shuttle because I do not need to carry that much fiber/yarn. And these rods are way less expensive than a wooden weaving needle. These rods are perfect for my use. I am so glad I found them. This review won't help most purchasers, but I am still very excited and glad to share it. ## Features - Made of sturdy steel and nickel plated, the APM cleaning rod has become an industry standard - Package Dimensions: 0.508 H x 35.56 L x 0.762 W (centimetres) - Package Weight: 0.090 kilograms - Country of Origin : United States ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #19,900 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #23 in Flute Cleaning & Care Products | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 208 Reviews | ## Images ![361 Flute Cleaning Rod, Steel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61id09vIvsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well with thin cloth to clean moisture from inside flute *by J***E on January 12, 2026* I personally just don't like the plastic rod so purchased this steel cleaning rod which works well with a thin cloth to clean moisture from my flute.

The plastic variety were cheaper but didn't look like they would hold up. This one seems quite sturdy and is a good replacement for the rod that originally came with the flute. My friend is happy, so I am too. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/31104055-361-flute-cleaning-rod-steel](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/31104055-361-flute-cleaning-rod-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
