Emergency Repairs

"As a professional flutist for 35 years, domestically and internationally, I know the importance of having a craftsman and skilled artisan able and willing to work on my instruments 'professionally' and have the work completed with utmost expediency.

I know I can depend on Jeff and the New England Flute Shop no matter where I am playing.

Jeff has always come through for me with expert efficiency, consistent results, and reasonable rates. As professional instrumentalists know and appreciate, all these are invaluable assets and avail to us a great sense of security that's so necessary in our profession.

I recommend his work and reliability without reservation."

"Jeffrey Schmalz is a skilled repairman that knows his craft well. From setting up a new instrument, a yearly tune-up, an occasional repair as well as a complete overhaul, Jeff is conscientious and precise with all his efforts and gets my flute working the best it is capable of. His wealth of knowledge, experience and kind understanding way makes him my "only" flute repairman.

I'm been a musician for nearly 50 years and if there is one thing I've come to know, your instrument is only as good as the repairman you have."
