Flutastic!

I have enjoyed teaching flute for over 30 years, &, back in the day, I received bachelor & masters degrees in flute performance (My favorite years were spent studying with Kay Dunn & Jean Louis Kashy (former student of William Kincaid)).  Over the years, my students have brought "bargain" flutes to lessons that they had bought off of ebay or Craigslist.  I began to realize that it was all too common that we were having to spend $100s on repairs in order to get the flutes to play correctly, or even to get them to play at all.  Then, as I looked for good repair techs. who understood the flute well (and who had the patience required to work on one...(we tried many!)), I realized that an excellent tech. is a rare find.  That is how Flutastic! got started;  On average, I look at about 20 used flutes in order to find one gem that is worth buying.  Once I find one,  I have my trusted repair tech. do any needed repairs, and finally I play-test it thoroughly before selling. 

Happy Fluting!
