How often should I get my flute professionally cleaned?

I’ve been playing flute for about two years at this point, and I have yet to take my flute into the shop to get professionally cleaned. I was told by my private lesson teacher that I would need to have my flute cleaned every so often. I was wondering how often do I actually need to have my flute cleaned? How does it affect the health of the flute if I postpone cleaning it? Will the quality of my playing decrease if I don’t? Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

(I should probably clarify; when I say “professionally cleaned” I don’t mean routine swabbing. I am referring to taking the flute into my local music store where they clean it and do routine maintenance.)

Sketch dump ig.

Please be respectful, I’m still learning.

Art advice is appreciated. I only started drawing recently, and I want to share progress and get advice. Would appreciate tips on drawing feline characters, as I have been struggling with that.

Thanks :3

Furry art on Desmos

Furry art I made in the Desmos graphing calculator. First time attempting to sketch in Desmos. Original art piece by @fleurfurr on instagram.

(FULL DISCLAIMER: the original art piece in the second image is not mine. The original was used as a reference by me when recreating it in Desmos. The artist has been properly credited above. This rendition of the piece in Desmos is merely fanart of the original.)

Hi :3! I am relatively new to the fandom, and it’s been bothering me that I don’t have professional art of my fursona. I’m am by no means an artist. I cannot draw anything unless I have a tutorial telling me exactly what to do. I do not have available funds at the moment, nor do I have any form of Cash App. I am extremely opposed to the use of generative AI for this endeavor. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I could do? As much as I hate asking for free things, I’m afraid that’s what I’ll have to resort to. If anyone has any advice please comment.

(Btw don’t ask about the PFP. It’s art that I found online. Not mine.)

Fursona is:

Common protogen

Dark-ish blue with purple details

Rounded ears

Medium length fluffy tail

Digitigrade legs

Other details pictured above, feel free to ask clarifying questions in the comments.

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you
