Try putting one of those paper labels, the re-usable kind, on the mouthpiece. That will stop the sweat reaction, and maybe even the sweating. And you can peel...
OK, but get an experienced player to test your flute as well, otherwise you might be fighting a loosing battle against leaky pads or a bad mechanism without...
