Answer:
I’m not so sure, but probably not too expensive. It definitely would depend where you go to have it done and the severity of the rust. You might just want to get a full repair and cleaning while you’re at it (maybe even a pad replacement as well but than can cost $100+), it will probably be cheaper to have everything done at once. It’s not too pricey in the long run, and it’s worth it. It’s a great feeling to show up to a practice/performance with a shiny flute and a pretty tone.
Followers, go! How much would it cost to have a professional or music shop remove rust from a flute?
Remember, the best method is prevention! Try to do a swift cleaning of your flute after playing, ESPECIALLY after marching outside in gross conditions. Of course, by that time, you’re exhausted and you just wanna go home - but do you really want to put a smelly, wet, dirty instrument up to your mouth next time you have to play? Nahh. ;)

Answer:
Corks are the things that go over the keys of open-holed flutes. Beginner flute players use them when they are just learning how to put their fingers on the keys. A lot of high school flute players never learn to play without them, thus developing very bad hand posture.
Maybe they’re called something different elsewhere… we always called them corks. They can also be little plastic plugs.
