We look forward to helping you find the right instrument for your performance needs or help you get the most out of the instrument you currently own. A word from Robert Johnson, Technical Director, Chief Repair Technician It is always nice to hear from a flutist regarding their appreciation of my efforts or noting something that I have done that has enhanced their love of playing. It is because of this simple desire to serve the needs of flutists that I have developed this company which is now considered to be one of the best places to purchase or repair flutes and piccolos. I am pleased to draw upon my twenty years of experience in the flute sales and repair industry to provide the highest quality service and objective consultations to flutists. As a young flutist, I was awarded a music scholarship and studied flute performance in Nice, France. At that time I also began to develop and pursue an interest in the technical aspects of flute making and repair. After studying in a number of related fields, the highlight of my practical training was an invitation to study with the Muramatsu Flute engineers at the Muramatsu Flute factory and facilities in Tokorozawa and Tokyo, Japan. Since then I have continued to advance my skills as I have develop one of most highly-regarded flute and piccolo repair companies in the nation. I believe it is my extensive training, experience, and familiarity with all manufacturers, models and styles of flutes and piccolos that allows me to address the needs of the even the most discriminating flutist. I repair, service and adjust flutes with traditional felt pads as well as Straubinger pads. I am also pleased to provide free, objective consultations for instrument purchases or repairs. All flutists, whether professional musicians, educators, amateurs or intermediate or beginning level players, deserve the services of a highly skilled and experienced repair facility for all repairs from minor adjustments to complete overhauls. This level of expertise is also essential for proper pre-purchase service or warranty adjustments on new and used flutes and piccolos. A properly maintained and repaired flute is a more enjoyable instrument to play as well as a protected investment. I look forward to helping you find the right instrument for your performance needs or helping you get the most out of the instrument you now own. ~Robert Sales | Repairs | Lessons | Events | Accessories Appraisals | About Us | Contact Us We offer the highest quality flutes and piccolos: new flutes, used flutes and hand-made flutes, new piccolos, used piccolos, beginning flutes, intermediate flutes and professional flutes.
