????? If these are new flutes, why are they so tarnished? Is the air that bad in China? What am I missing here? It's really the air (humidity) in Florida that's the problem. This is the same reason we do not generally stock Silver Saxes here (mostly special order only), because after weeks, not mon...

I know it's tough on band programs now, and you gotta wonder what are the most critical needs of band programs... really, paying to do events to gain more interest in your specific band program is the way to go. I like all the ideas, especially the sponsorship idea... here are a few things floating ...

Hey Phineas, Well, in order to get the flutes into peoples hands, a no reserve auction is the way to go, sometimes they go low, sometimes they sell where you expect.

We went to the Colorado Bandmasters event last month and met with 5 teachers at a private round table who pretty much were sceptics and said the same thing. 4 of the 5 were saxophone pla...

Thanks to everyone for the awesome feedback. We have also learned that the flute playing community can be a tough crowd, which gave us even more reason to make sure we had a solid product and the right credentials before we ever marketed our first flute. (which it didn't stop the critics... lol) The...
