Welcome to my website. I'm a North Carolina flutist and a flute and piccolo repair technician.
I serve the flute community in these ways:
1. I can work on your flute or piccolo to make it sound, feel, and play better. Go to Repair Prices to read what I can do to improve your instrument. I do COA's, (clean, oil, adjust, a yearly service) repads and complete overhauls. Read this article if you play flute or piccolo and would like to learn about Checking Your Instrument's Condition
2. I buy used flutes and piccolos, repair everything on them that needs work, and sell them. Many people want used flutes but are nervous that they'll get "a lemon." I offer a trial period and one year warranty on the instruments I sell. See Used Flutes and Used Piccolos to get an idea of prices and what I try to keep in stock. By the time I'm done with an instrument it plays like an instrument of much higher quality.
My clients include professionals of all ages, college students, hobby players, adult and young beginners, and men and women who want to return to their flutes after years away from music. So far, I've repaired or prepared instruments for flutists in 36 out of 50 of the United States, and also in Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia and France. To read what my customers have to say, read my References (from previous years) or click "View Entries" on the guestbook below.

Thanks for visiting my website. Email me with comments or questions.
I have filled my work schedule for May and June. Ok, I admit, part of this is vacation. But I will not be able to prepare or repair any more flutes or piccolos until the second week of July.
You're welcome to email me with questions or to set up an appointment for July or August, or to reserve a certain flute. I have many absolutely beautiful flutes I can prepare for the upcoming school year.
