The only way to fix this is to have a new key in place of it. I hope it was the G# or B or Bb or D# key because these are the cheapest to replace and they are the mostlikely to be damaged. This hasent happened to me before but one of my friends that plays the Clarinet the register key snaped off. No one knows why. I have never heard of this brand of flute before. It sounds forign and I despise forign instruments for the sole reason that they are junk to begin with. I don't know if this instrument is forign or not. But what I do know it that key that snaped off must be completely replaced by a professional. If it is a forign instrument a repair dealer may or may not be able to find a replacement part for that instrument. Forign instruments are hard to find replacement parts for. But don't assume that it is a forign instrument because I think it is one. I just have never heard of this brand before and it is deffinetly not recommended by professional flute players. That is why I think that it is a forign instrument. E-Mail me at kingtst@frontiernet.net if you have any more questions.

1. Burn it to the ground.
2. Bulldoze the surrounding earth
3. Mark the location as a Hazardous Waste Site to protect
mankind.
Sorry
