Can my flute / recorder be repaired immediately?
We can’t promise! Before the “treatment” a “diagnosis” must generally be made, only then can we tell you how long the repair will take! An “emergency operation” is probably possible in very urgent cases, or we will loan you a replacement instrument for a small fee.

How long will a repair take?
That depends on various factors:
• the type of repair necessary.
• the age and condition of the instrument.
We can only decide on the probable duration of the repair after examining the instrument at our workshop.
Guidelines for flutes:
• two days to one week for a “small service”.
• notification is required for a general overhaul, which takes one week to ten days.
Guidelines for recorders:
• two to three day for a small service
• we send more extensive repairs (such as gluing cracks) away for delicate repairs,   duration on request!

I live some distance away, can I also send my flute to you?
To ensure that your instrument arrives safely and undamaged, please observe the following:
• ensure that your instrument is well packed in its case and is not loose
  (rattles in the case).
• never send the instrument in its case alone.
• use a stable cardboard box and fill it out with packing (e.g. balled newspaper)
  and close properly with packaging tape (no Scotch tape),
• place a note in the package containing your name, address, telephone number
  and a description of the problem.
• keep the despatch receipt until the instrument has been returned to you!
• it is not necessary to despatch the package as freight.

We will return the instrument after its repair per cash on delivery.
