I’ve been fortunate to study flute repair with Tom Peterson since December 2021. Since then, I’ve completed full overhauls, standard COAs, and a variety of small adjustments on instruments ranging from student models to professional flutes. I know there’s a need for more repair technicians and I’m grateful for the opportunity to take on more projects of my own. I am currently accepting work on student and intermediate model flutes.

CLEAN OIL ADJUST (COA):

• Shim to remove leaks in pads
• Check head joint cork, and replace if necessary
• Clean to remove dirt and tarnish from the body
• Clean and oil mechanism
• Adjust felt and cork connections

Pricing:

• Free consultation, then I can give a quote after seeing your flute
• Hourly rate = $60 per hour + materials (such as new pads, head cork, etc.)
• Mindful of customer budget, and will stick to agreed upon cost
• Until I build a sufficient inventory of pads/materials, larger jobs will be referred elsewhere

Location/Hours:

• Location: For now, repair work will be done at Flute Asylum
  • 410 S Michigan Ave Suite 520, Chicago IL 60605
• Hours: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
