​Flute Repair
and flute servicing
ALWAYS ASK WHO PREPARED YOUR FLUTE
AND THEIR EXPERIENCE.
There's really no need to spend extra money on going to high street shops for flute repair and maintenance.
If you go to a 'General' musical instrument shop, they will just pass it to a flute repairer and make a commission, increasing the cost for you. There are some great technicians that work from home or workshops all day every day, at much lower rates for the same standard of service, go directly to them.
Most of these technicians also have no intention of swaying you to buy a new instrument from them, so you won't feel pressured, or wrongly told that your instrument can't be repaired.

How much does a flute service cost?
Nobody can give an estimate without first seeing the flute. Even the prettiest instruments can require a lot of work, and ugly ones almost no adjustment!
Problems often surface lower down the instrument with lower notes, but the cause could very well be a leak or broken pad further up the instrument.
Flute repair estimates
Again, the flute must be inspected.
As a guide, for a small repair, levelling a pad, some regulation adjustments, around £40-£50. Replacing a couple of pads, up to £70 ish. Headcork replacement £15, tenon sizing £10-£15.
A full repad for a student flute should cost around £275. A more advanced flute, £350 upwards.
Muramatsu, Altus, Miyazawa, Yamaha flute re-pad and overhauls - we can also have this done by
specialist technicians in Japan. It takes an extra 3 weeks because of postage, but your
flute will be done by a techi that deals with only that brand of flute, so worth the wait.
These technicians have all learned their trade at one of these big brand factories.
