Purchasing a new flute is a huge decision, not unlike choosing a life partner! But when you know, you know. I wasn’t looking for love, but it found me in the form of a 10k Haynes from Flute Center. Even after I had played the instrument I ultimately ended up purchasing, I tried MANY more flutes from a variety of dealers. I kept coming back to this one. Kim was patient, accommodating, communicative, and helped coordinate custom modifications to the instrument directly with Haynes. I was able to purchase my new flute with total confidence not only that I had found an instrument I LOVED playing, but that Flute Center’s warranty program would cover any maintenance during the initial break-in period, and that I’d made an informed decision thanks to their generous trial policies. It can take some time to find THE ONE, but lasting love is worth the wait.❤️
