Flute Trials

Flute Trial Policy

With a flute trial, you’ll be able to compare side by side your favorite flute brands before you buy.  We ensure that our flutes will be in excellent playing condition. However, there are certain requirements  and procedures that have to be met before an instrument can be sent.

Please make every effort to keep the instrument (s) clean and  scratch-free. Remove all rings (except wedding rings) and all jewelry. Please only clean the flutes  with the rag provided and swab the inside with your own flute swab  after playing each time. Do not use the new polishing cloths and swabs  in with the flutes until you purchase the instrument. Please enjoy your  trial!
