My dear friends for the next few weeks.

Some of us only get to play our teacher’s or fellow dojo students’ flutes once in a while. But due to my restoration and repair work, I get to play and examine fine instruments from all over the globe on a pretty regular basis. For this, I am deeply indebted to these players. Two weeks ago, I was left with a fine flute that the owner had for eight years. That was the first time he had ever parted with it.  I understand the trepidation one feels when entrusting someone with their valuable one-of-a kind instrument and therefore treat each flute with utmost care. They are part of the intricate soul of our world.

Each flute requires unique attention, like a patient. Sleep well, your flutes are in good hands.
