Rich Lupo is better than a music store.  My flute repair methods use the high quality materials and time consuming hand work often reserved for professional instruments only.  Most music stores use quick cheap shortcuts for their flute repair that often result in lower quality and less durability. Flute repair requires a specialist.  I am a flute repairman, a specialist.  I am not a "band instrument" repairman. I only repair flutes and piccolos, all day, every day.  My shop is fully stocked with every tool.  I play flute professionally and teach flute lessons.  You'll be amazed what a flute specialist can do for your flute repair needs. My customers' comments are often the same: "I wish I had found you 10 years ago!"

Because a professional flute repairman should be a professional flute player. . . not a professional salesman.

Flute repair is an industry that has been steeped in tradition for hundreds of years.  However, Rich Lupo Flutes and Piccolos has been innovating the field of flute repair to better suit modern flutists.  We are constantly developing new techniques and methods of flute repair, as well as experimenting with new materials and tools.  We keep up with the innovations of others, including the professional flutemakers themselves, and constantly test new flute repair ideas.  While some of our innovations in flute repair are closely guarded secrets, many of our techniques are shared with members of the flute repair industry, in order to advance the flute playing community.
