Flute Repair

Professional and Amateur Flutists

I bring a well adjusted and playable instrument into your hands for your live performance.

After being a flutist for over 40 years, playing professionally and with community groups along with being a music educator for over 35 years, I decided to expand my knowledge of flute repair. I can now perform basic adjustments and repairs as well as complete overhauls. My wealth of knowledge about flute playing and performance expectations helps in guiding my repair work.

While a flute is an inanimate machine, it becomes an extension of the performer as that performer breathes life into the instrument and in turn brings music to life. Flutists often think of their flute almost as if it were a family member. I treat every flute that crosses my bench with that respect and sense of caring in mind.
