About Us

Any successful business thrives not only on the quality of the goods they provide but also on the quality of service they are able to offer both prior to and after your purchase.

We have been serving the flute community for 40 years and in that time we have developed a range of services designed to make your experience of flute playing as easy, happy and trouble-free as possible. Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned professional, the level of our service and attention remains the same.

We have a specialist team of friendly, dedicated and knowledgeable individuals whose combined skills as orchestral players, soloists and teachers, allow for expert advice on instrument choice and repertoire to play.

We have a purpose-fit testing room available so that you can try flutes in comfort to your heart’s content. There is room enough for extra pairs of ears too, so you’re welcome to bring people to listen. We’ll also be on call to sit in and help out.

We have an in-house workshop, run by Mark our experienced and very well-respected repairer.

Throughout his career, Nigel has been dedicated to building a team of skilled professionals who deliver expert advice and service with integrity. Now, after over 30 years, Nigel remains a respected authority in the world of flutes.
