Guo flutes parts and technical assistance ?

[gpavone1@comcast.net]

I am tempted to purchase a Guo Tocco plastic flute but I am worried about possible problems if the flute will ever have
any need for adjustments or service or parts replacement. Who will be able to assist ? And where I will be able to get replacement parts from ?
I wonder if ant Forum member who owns a Guo flute can share his experience ? Thanks !

I have not repaired a guo flute, but I have repaired about 6 plastic flutes now, well attempted repair.

Everything is molded plastic including the springs, when they break they break, the pads are simply a flap that is held in place by a splayed fitting, these are what I have had to refit mainly.

IMO a very short lived fad it will be,
