When I was a beginner I didn't have money to get a nice flute and take it to the repairman every day. I had to use my instrument screwdrivers to make adjustments, good and bad.

"Don't touch the keys"... well you picked up the flute by the keys and you assembled the footjoint while grasping the keys. Don't touch the keys, or the rods either! You don't want that expensive mechanism out of adjustment! The alignment of the headjoint and footjoint vary from player to player, as does pulling out the headjoint. Take this with a grain of salt.

Video Transcript
Hi, my name is Sarah for Expert Village.com. I am going to talk to you about assembling your flute. This piece is called the head joints. This is what you grab first and you put it into the main body. One thing to remember when you are assembling the flute is to never grab the keys because you could possibly bend them and then create a leak in your flute. You put it in gently like this, turning and easing it in and you do not put it in all the way like this. You actually need to pull out where your flute is turned and then make sure that this hole is lined with your very first key. You can look at it like this and make sure that it is completely in line. The last thing to do is put on your foot joint, the foot of the flute and when you are assembling this, you make sure that this main bar of the foot joint is in the middle of the body, in the middle of the very last key like this.
