From the reviews
I purchased a 40 degree head joint. I had a severe problem with holding my flute correctly because of non repairable damage to my shoulder . Getting this head joint makes feel like I died and went to heaven. Playing my flute is my happy place. Thank you.
Simply, the best place to service your flute in Dallas. The staff here are professional, knowledgeable and wonderfully patient. This includes from buying a new flute to repairs, even when looking for books and music.
We cannot thank Carolyn enough for her incredible kindness and dedication! My daughter’s flute suddenly stopped producing sound on the lowest C note, just days before her Region Audition. Despite it being late at night (11 PM!), Carolyn responded to my email within a minute.
A store dedicated to flutes! Tyler, the repair technician, was able to make adjustments that made my flute playable again, in less than an hour and for less than $75. I can tell that my flute still needs some work, but at least it plays now. The staff members with whom I interacted were all friendly and helpful.
Selling or trading gear at Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company
Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
