Boris and Jean,
The flute arrived yesterday afternoon! I don't know quite what to say except "Thank You"! It is beautiful and as Boris assured me, it plays better than when it was new! It is such a pleasure to do business with professionals, especially in this day and age. It plays so fluidly and the entire register speaks beautifully! Thank you again. You both share a wonderful "gift"!
Sincerely,
Rilla |
Hi, I am sending you a Gemeinhardt 3SH flute that I purchased. It does not play and needs work. You fixed a flute that I had sent you before and it plays great, in fact it is my favorite flute. I want the overhaul service with the Valentino Synthetic pads. I am not sure what it needs but, please tell me what it needs... thanks,
Syd |
A belated thank you for the lovely job you did on my flute. It's thrilling to once again shoot for a note and actually have it play! I'm enjoying it immensely.

Dear Boris and Jean,
Thanks so much for the wonderful job you did on my Haynes. It has never played so easily - in the 35 years that I have owned it!
Sincerely,
Christa |
Thank you so much for my "new" flute! When I got it back from you the other day, I couldn't wait to try it out. I have almost never been able to get out low C and it just popped right out. Your repairs were amazing! I guess I had gotten so used to playing it like that for so long, I didn't even realize what bad shape it was in. I can't wait for rehearsal to start next week. Like you said--it's better than new! I do love it! I'll be sure to pass your name along to others.
Thanks again,
Lori |
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I can't believe how different my flute is!!!! It's so easy to play - it even has a different resonance - I can feel more in my fingers now I guess because I can hold it so lightly.
I just can't believe how wonderful it was to play Bach tonight with it - I don't even have words for it!
I'm so glad I found you!
Thank you SO MUCH,

I didn't have time you drop you an email yesterday, but I wanted to thank you for your meticulous service. I came home from my concert last night, and, even though I was exhausted, I had to try out my flute. It is wonderful; it's like new!!! I am thrilled that you finally fixed the foot joint. The screw hasn't stayed in since I bought the flute. The low register speaks sooo much easier! And, I can finally use my other headjoint now that it is sized! Thanks for your quick turn around, too. I will definitely keep your card and pass your name along to people I know. (A lady in my community band has the same flute and is continually having trouble with her screw and foot joint. She sends her's to Flute World, but no one's been able to fix it correctly.) Anyway, the overhaul was worth every penny. Thank you! Thank you! Sara

Boris and Jean,
Thank you so much. I received my new flute in record time, and could not be happier. I was just leaving as it arrived, but played for nearly an hour when I got home at midnight! What a fantastic flute. I had an opportunity to play many top flutes at a convention, including Muramatsu, Haynes, Altus and Brannen-Cooper. I kept going back to the Sonare. For me it just played and sounded better. That is when I decided that it would be my next flute. The one I received from you, however, plays even better. The tone and response are amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Warmest regards. |
| I just finished my first 30 minutes on my wonderful Burkart. You did an amazing job. The flute has never responded before like it does now. It is like I have never heard my footjoint notes until now. You are truly an artist in your skills and craftsmanship. Clean Clean and Correct. Thanks a million, |
Hi,
I just wanted to let you know my daughter’s flute arrived yesterday, and she is absolutely THRILLED. It looks and plays like new, and I appreciate the care instructions too.
Thanks for wonderful service, I feel lucky to have found out about you!

Boris and Jean,
I received my flute on Tuesday and have had a few days to play it. It’s wonderful! It is a real pleasure to play! The sound is so full and the notes flow easily!
Thank you very much.

I finally got a chance to try my flute out and WOW! All the notes are clear and wonderful. Of course it looks like new too. In particular when I play middle register D it just pops out like it never has. Thanks for the fast turnaround and great customer service too.

Hi Boris & Jean,
The flute arrived back just now, and I gave it a quick test - sounds great and looks wonderful, too. Thanks for turning it around so quickly...
Regards,
Dave |
The Powell is working beautifully. Keys are ALL working smoother than last time I did the overhaul in 2003. Good work! |
Dear Boris and Jean,
Thank you so much for fixing my flute. It had to be 30 some years since it needed any work. The tone is so much fuller and vibrant. I will be playing for a wedding next week and I am happy my flute sounds so good.

Hello Boris,
I have just received the flute and I gave it a good play: what an improvement!!! The low register works beautifully again; all of the notes just pop out the way they should. Now I can more surely get on with some quality practice and get my skills back. |
I received my flute yesterday and love the way it plays. It sings like
it hasn't sung for a long time. I don't feel like I'm fighting it
anymore. |
I received the flute yesterday afternoon. I'm just delighted! I spent most of the afternoon playing through various pieces, some of which had been giving me problems. I actually thought my playing was deteriorating and now I find it was my poor flute! Difficult passages flew off the fingers, high notes could be played whisper soft. I do not remember ever being so ecstatic after an overhaul before... Again, many thanks!

Hi Boris, Great job on my Haynes flute, as always. The flute looks and plays like new. Quality work. Regards,

Hi Boris, I got the flute today, and Boris all I can say is unbelievable. You did a fantastic job. It plays as good as new. I'm beyond surprised. I'm so glad I sent it to you. I thought I would never play that flute again. Thanks so much for a wonderful job done. |
Hi Boris,
The flute arrived safely yesterday. It looks and sounds great! I just love the velvety lush sound. I have been testing it out with several headjoints and it seems the wood Bigio works the best. I was surprised to hear such a huge sound coming out of this flute. I am very happy with all your hard work. I know you spent a lot of time on this flute.
Thank you again!
Aloha, |
Hello Boris,
I received the flute yesterday. The adjustments you made make this flute play
better than it ever has. I bought it used so I have yet to experience the 100% capacity zone.
Just writing to say I am pleased with the job and I will contact you regarding the overhaul in 2006.
Thank you |
I’m very happy!! The flute never played so well. I used to be a professional flutist until my late 20’s when I lived in Brazil. Since then, I haven't studied seriously enough to feel some real satisfaction. Probably now (in my late 40s) with flute sounding so beautifully it is going to be the incentive I needed to immerse back into music and flute playing.
I will certainly recommend you guys to all my flute friends.
Thank you very much!! |
My flute just arrived and it's perfect - plays and looks beautiful couldn't be happier! You have been a real pleasure to work with! Thanks for everything! |
Wow !!
Just got the flute. Plays great ! Looks great !
Many many thanks... so happy I found you...
Best wishes,
|
The flute plays great!
Thank you! |
The flute is fabulous! |
Boris: The flute resonates like it never has before. Every note is much clearer! |
Hi Jean and Boris,
The flute arrived yesterday and it plays beautifully. Thanks for your excellent work. Hope you are staying warm and dry on the east coast.
Best Regards,
