Repair Description

  • COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY : All the keys are removed from the body. The old pads are removed. All the key corks and all body corks are removed. 
  •

  • BODY IS PREPARED: The body is cleaned and polished. Dents are removed if necessary. Key posts & springs are checked and replaced, straightened or repaired as needed. Post ribs are checked and repaired as needed.
  • TONE HOLES: The tone holes are checked and leveled if necessary to prepared for the new pads. This step is time consuming but is very important on professional instruments. Also, specialized equipment is needed for this job.
  • KEYS: The keys are chemically cleaned, degreased, polished, and sterilized. The key shafts and pivot screws are cleaned and made ready for new key oil when the instrument is reassembled.

  • ALL PADS ARE REPLACED: Every pad is replaced with the highest quality skin pads.
  • PADS ARE LEVELED: Each pad is individually leveled on its respective tone hole. This step will help the pad to last longer and give more efficient service. This is also a step that many service centers seem to over look.

    ADJUSTMENT: The flute is adjusted to it's best possible playing condition. Pad height, spring tension, and placement of keys are all adjusted. 
  • INSPECTION: The flute is inspected visually, and played by a repairman that has inspected thousands of flutes. Also, we have private flute teachers on staff that play each professional flute before it is returned to you. 
  • CONCLUSION: On the professional flute overhaul, everything possible is done to protect the quality that was built into your professional instrument. We go all out to maintain the professional integrity that you expect of the instrument. All of our overhauls carry a twelve-month guarantee.
