Arista Flutes

Nearly thirty years ago Arista Flutes was established as a small flute making workshop in Boston Massachusetts.
Flute virtuoso William Bennett and his friends Trevor Wye, Adrian Brett, Richard and Chris Taylor introduced
critical refinements to the Arista instrument that make this flute unsurpassed in craftsmanship and tonal quality. It is an instrument that, in the words of Mr. Bennett, embodies "That mysterious something that only a few old French flutes have."
