From the reviews
Best place to go for purchases, repairs, and expertise! I have purchased an upper level instrument from this shop, and after testing instruments from multiple shops, their piccolo and expertise was superior.
I was very impressed with the care and professionalism I received while looking into flute repair and the purchase of a new instrument. Robert Johnson was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The staff was cheerful and well informed. As a professional musician I highly recommend this place.
I been playing since the late 70's and this is hands-down the best place for my flutes. Robert and the staff always warmly greet me. AMAZING instrument selection and top-notch repair service. I could go somewhere closer but Flute Specialists is worth the trip.
I needed an emergency repair and Robert was able to take care of me immediately. The entire staff was so kind and the work done on my flute was excellent. I HIGHLY recommend them.
Selling or trading gear at Flute Specialists, Inc
Flute Specialists, Inc 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.
Lessons at Flute Specialists, Inc
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Flute Specialists, Inc. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
