Flute Center Trial Policies
Before you test any instruments, please remember:
- Remove all jewelry
- Wash your hands before testing the instruments
- Wipe down the instruments after each time you play
- Do not use the cloths that come with new instruments
- Do not use alcohol swabs on wooden instruments
When your receive your trial, review your trial paperwork to confirm that you have received all items listed. If your trial paperwork is inaccurate, please contact us immediately.
Please care for the instruments as your own. Any instruments returned dirty, fingerprinted, dented or otherwise abused can be subject to a cleaning fee of between $100-$300 per instrument.
Client must be 18 years or older to set up an in-home trial. Clients under 18 must have their parent/guardian contact the Flute Center to set up an in-home trial.
Most trials are scheduled for up to 7 days from receipt of the items. If your teacher is a ClubFC member, we grant an extended 10 day trial. Most clients find that a 7 day trial period is sufficient to decide on an instrument. If a decision cannot be reached in that time, please contact us to request an extension or a follow-up trial.
All international trials must be paid for in full before shipment.
