      Hello all,
      every Sylphyo user knows about the moisture problem (like all brass players have :-). What about an inner surface with a lotus effect? Could that be the solution?

        @steviek I've contacted one of the very active makers of Native American flutes, and he has looked into the superhydrophobic products that are available .... in particular ...

        https://nationalpolymer.com/hydrophobic-coatings/
        and
        https://www.neverwet.com/

        His has not pursued them because of the (severe) risks involved in applying those coatings. Here is the text of his reply ... From Jon Norris (Jon Norris Music and Arts):

        ----
        I actually looked into Neverwet when it first came out because they had a viral video about it. Apparently the stuff -- at least at the time -- was incredibly toxic, and it had to be reapplied from time to time.

        I looked into hydrophobic and hydrophilic plastics as well, and they're permanent, but they're a bit of a nightmare to apply as you can't sand them and can't get any glue or finish on them other than on the attached side.

        If there was something permanent and not deadly and fairly easy to apply, I'd use it in a heartbeat as it would almost entirely prevent wet-out. I just haven't found anything like that yet, so I use CA glue on the block and flue to make it virtually plastic, then apply RainX, which does help a good bit.

          Perhaps the Direct Laser Interference Patterning (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0VP3uAVDa8) could be interesting.
