If there is a flute player on your gift list, your shopping just got easier! Musicians, whether they play professionally or as a hobby, are passionate about their instruments. There are many gift options in a wide range of prices and the flute player will be delighted by your thoughtfulness.

Good for Stocking Stuffers or Inexpensive Gifts for Flute Players

Keeping the flute clean, inside and out, is critical. For the inside, gauze or silk swabs do a good job, but even better is a flute flag that enables cleaning without taking the instrument apart. To keep the outside clean and shining, there are cloths specially made to remove skin oils. An all-inclusive cleaning kit would be a great choice, like the Gemeinhardt Flute Cleaning Kit.

A flute stand or peg is a useful accessory that holds the instrument during practice periods.

Must-Have Accessories for the Flutist

Metronomes and chromatic tuners are essential for any flute player.  There are a number of products that combine both devices into one tool which is very convenient for the musician. A great option is the Korg TM-60 Tuner Metronome, which offers good battery life and an easy to read display.

Music stands are another necessary item; a portable stand could be an excellent choice for a musician who travels. Look for a stand that folds easily, is lightweight, and has good stability. The Musician’s Gear Folding Music Stand is a fully collapsible and durable music stand keeps music pages in place.

Other terrific ideas include headphones, like the Musician’s Gear MG900 Studio Headphones, or a music stand light, both available in a range of prices.

Flute Cases and Covers

All flutes are sold with cases. However, the case may not be of the best quality.  Some are uncomfortable to carry and some have poorly manufactured latches.  A new case could be a great gift and there are many options available, such as the Protec Slimline Flute Pro-Pac Case that is extremely lightweight and features good storage space.

Another cool option, that the musician may not own, is a case cover. Cases primarily protect the flute.  Case covers can make it easier to carry the instrument and provide additional space for music and cleaning supplies. Take a look at the Protec Flute Case Cover, which features padding, a shoulder strap, and an exterior pocket that can accommodate accessories or a piccolo case.

Flute Gifts Just for Fun

If you prefer to choose something other than specific accessories for the flute, consider some novelty, flute-themed gifts.  Choose from ornaments, picture frames, pendants, or a fun T-shirt.

You also can’t go wrong with some new sheet music for flute, perhaps combining a method book for practice and some fun, crowd pleasing music:
