"Thanks for the GREAT JOB and FAST TURN-AROUND!" --F. Staff, flute instructor, Los Angeles, CA "The flute is glorious. I am delighted with it. It will be my pleasure to recommend your work around my flute circles...and the NFA." --S. Goodfellow, professor of flute, University of Utah "Wow! For all of these years of being perfectly happy with my flute, I now realize that it was NOT what it could have been. What a pleasure to play on it. Thanks again and again for high standards, patience, knowledge...and artistry." --E. Burkhalter, flute performer and instructor, Houston, Texas "My Brannen is working beautifully--back to its original playing condition." --Natalia Semyonova, performer, Paris, France "Alek, thanks again for the overhaul - you did the impossible! You far exceeded my expectations, especially correcting the venting problem with the thumb key. Also, I didn't realize what a difference Straubinger pads would make. My flute plays beautifully. Your work is impeccable."--Steve Franzke, flute performer and instructor, Tacoma, Washington |
