High E "Donut"

Post by ExPhysKid »

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good repair shop where I could send my flute to have a donut/washer installed? I am assuming that it would have to be a place that specializes in flutes, but I don't know where to look since there are so many out there. Any opinions? Thanks!

J.L. Smith manufactures the Hi-E facilitator (donut) used by many flute shops and technicians. That's where I get donuts that I install in flutes. J.L.Smith also has a great staff of technicians that can install the donut at a reasonable price.
