Why You Don’t Need to Worry Before Buying a Flute at Flute Center

Buying a flute, especially online or sight unseen, can be nerve-wracking. Will it play well? Will I regret my choice? What if something is wrong? The good news: at Flute Center, you really do have reasons to feel confident. Here’s why you can feel confident shopping with us.

1. You’re Dealing with Real Flutists, Not Just Salespeople

One of the things that sets Flute Center apart is our team of Resident Flutists -  people who actively perform and teach on the instrument, not just sell it. When you ask questions, you’re getting guidance from people who know how a flute should feel, respond, and sound. Everyone, down to the person packing your order, is a real flutist, and that makes all the difference.

2. Easy Returns — Try It, Then Decide

Flute Center offers a 7-day return window for flutes purchased on our website. If, for any reason, “this isn’t the one,” you can contact us to initiate a return or exchange. We’re all flutists, and we truly want each and every one of our customers to be thrilled with the flute they end up with.

We also offer free, in-home trials before purchase. If you’re struggling to choose between a few different models, a trial is the perfect solution.

3. All New & Certified Pre-Owned Flutes Come with a 12-Month Warranty

Flute Center backs all new and Certified Pre-owned instruments with a 12-month Standard Service Guarantee. During that time, we’ll cover any minor adjustments needed to keep your flute mechanically sound and playable, so you’re not on your own if small issues arise.

This guarantee is in addition to a manufacturer’s limited warranty on new instruments. 

4. You’re Joining a Flute-Loving Community, Not Just Completing a Transaction

When you buy from Flute Center, the relationship doesn’t end at checkout. Our support doesn’t come from anonymous customer-service reps — it comes from flutists, repair techs, and educators who understand the instrument intimately. That community and expertise add real value and peace of mind.
