Dramatic Transformation

This Bundy flute looks as if it was caught behind a stuck car as the car was trying to break free from a muddy hole spinning it's tires and bathing the flute with muddy water.  In actuality, it's probably a fatality of a wet marching band event.  


 Here's the same instrument after disassembly, a thorough cleaning and chemical cleaning as well as a complete re-pad.  Much nicer!  Yes?
