It was really easy to drop off my Flute and they seem to know a lot about Flute and took care of my instrument and tuned it very well thanks so much read more

It's was amazing!!! Compared to other shops I have went to this one tops. They lay out all the flutes for you to try and let you bring home some to try (1-3). People there are so nice also. Honestly an amazing experience. Will come again. read more

I had a really wonderful experience getting a COA at Flutacious. I am new to the area and was in desperate need of one -- was long overdue from the moving process. They respond so quickly to messages and are very candid about the costs and what types of repairs your flute might need. As far as COA's that I've had, it was a little bit on the pricier side, but I am so happy with the service that I got. I'll be sure to be back for my next one! read more

I had the misfortune of having my flute stolen a few years back. After some time had passed, I decided it was time to buy a new flute. The staff at Flutacious! provided me with everything I needed. I told them that I hadn't played in a few years and I would likely need some time and help to really know which flute I would want to buy. When I arrived at the store they had an assortment of flutes laid out for me to test (within my price point), IT WAS HEAVEN! I was instructed to try out different things on each flute (ie. f scale, double tongue, dynamics, slurring, different registers). Having not played in a while, I found this really helpful... honesty, it had been so long I didn't really know what to do. I tried out each one and they made a list of what they thought was the best one for me, but first they asked me which ones I thought were the best and worst, carefully taking into considerations what I had thought of the flute. I played through each flute a few times and finally decided.... That I couldn't decide. So they let me take a few flutes on an extended at home test trial. I ended up purchasing an Azumi after the trail, all the flutes were good.... but the Azumi made me smile every time I played it! They also have a bunch of accessories and flute music there! If you're in the market for a new flute, and want to try a lot of flutes with great flute players around you to help you pick, I highly recommend Flutacious! read more

Flutacious! - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me

I have been going to Flutacious! for over 10 years and I have nothing but great things to say! Cynthia and her team are always incredibly nice and quick to respond anytime I need anything. Flutacious is THE ONLY place I take my instruments to be repaired (Miyazawa Flute and Burkart Piccolo) and they always come home in perfect condition. I also purchased my flute from Flutacious and had a great experience in both the trial period as well as with purchasing my instrument. I've recommended many people to come here and they all are now long-time customers. read more

I found the best budget-friendly head-joint at Flutacious! I had a great experience. Roni presented me with many options. She was awesome and knowledgeable! I'm so happy with my choice! My flute sounds better than ever! I highly recommend Flutacious for all things FLUTE! Ashera J. read more

The coolest experience ever. This was going to be my forever flute, a step up from a Student flute. I've played for years off and on since the 70's and only owned student models. My current flute was about 20 years old. It was my sons from middle school. I donated my actual 1st flute, an Artley, to a middle school music program. I started taking lessons again over 3 years ago and have not only grown to love playing again but actually practice more and I'm more focused. So after all these years I felt I earned a step up to a big girl flute. I'm not a pro but I have passion and just love playing. As for the great service! Well Cynthia, the owner, responded to all my emails and was patient with all my inquiries. Once we finally set our appointment I was ready. My flute teacher, Joanne Hsueh, here in San Diego highly recommended I go here. I was so excited that I arrived a half hour early and they were more than welcoming. I met with Deanna and she was patient and helped me along with my decision. What's really cool is they let you try different flutes, to get the right fit. I brought my old one and had music with me so I could really get a feel for what was right for me. I think we were there about an hour and a half. They were really accommodating and I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. read more

Flutacious! - This is my Di Zhao! I named her "Glenda" - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me

They did a great job repairing my precious Sankyo flute, which I've had since at least 2007. It has lacked maintenance for many years. They recommended an overhaul for $1695 due to the extent of repairs needed to restore the flute to pristine condition meant for heavy use (hours per day), but as I no longer play frequently, I just needed it to work perfectly for sporadic use, and they were able to get it up to par with a $495 COA (Clean, Oil, Adjust) and replacing a few small parts (like the headjoint cork). They completed the repairs in exactly 2 weeks, which was their estimated turnaround time. I drove all the way from Torrance (an hour drive) to come here and I'm glad I did! All of you musicians know how precious our instruments are to us, and they deserve the best service possible. They did offer to send my flute back to me so I wouldn't have to drive back to pick it up, but I chose to drive back because I just don't trust any shipping carriers with my precious Sankyo. I have an EXTREMELY busy schedule (school, work, preparing for the MCAT, applying to medical schools, and planning a wedding), and I still chose to drive all the way here! Their business is difficult to locate - I drove around that street numerous times before finding their driveway! To find it: turn onto Bonita Drive, which is a dead-end street. Turn around so you are facing away from the dead end and towards the direction from which you came. On the left side, you will see a somewhat hidden narrow driveway (likely to the right of some recycling bins from the adjacent property). This driveway is the one that curves to the left a little ways up - not the driveway that goes straight up to another property that you can see. You won't be able to see this business until you get around the curves part of their driveway. I hope that helps someone! read more

I absolutely love working with Cynthia and the wonderful people at Flutacious. I purchased my flute from them, which was a wonderful experience; and when the time came for a COA they were incredibly helpful. The work was done quickly and they communicated very well. My flute felt brand new and I'd recommend them to everyone! read more

Flutacious came to Colburn during a flute masterclass week to display their flutes, piccolos, and various other wares for the masterclass performers to take a look at. I've been to woodwind specialty shops, but I've never been to a flute specialty shop and this is the first one I've actually heard of. I loved it! All of their flutes and piccolos out for display are really really reaaaallly nice and well maintained--I'm very impressed! Most instruments from average music shops aren't well maintained...but Flutacious does much better than that. All the sheet music they offered was relevant, as well--not just the average "pop tunes for flute players" deal. All the swabs, rods, cleaning materials were of high quality too. Everything out on display was just very useful to the amateur/professional flute player--and everything honestly really impressed me. Well anyways, knowing that the associates are very knowledgable about what they're actually doing is very reassuring. The two associates today that were present (Amy and man whose man I didn't catch) knew all about flute, how to play it, and all the technicalities. It wasn't just "let me ring you up and send you on your way," it was "you study with _____? and ________ flute is great because _________, and while you're here, I'll take a look at your flute before you leave." I will most definitely visit the shop in person some day. When I'm back in school in LA I will most definitely be back here when I need some help with my flute. Already a huge fan of Flutacious! read more

I own all the major flutes in the flute family (flute, piccolo, alto and bass) and Flutacious is the only place I will take any of my instruments when they need a check up or repair. Last year, they did a normal "oil & lube" check up on my bass and did a wonderful job. One of my keys was being wonky, it really was bothering them and they wouldn't give it back to me until they knew that the problem was fixed. I recently had a some pads replaced on my piccolo because of some leaks and my instrument now plays perfectly. The care that Amy, Cynthia and everyone at Flutacious puts into making sure that my flutes are playing at their absolute best is second to none. They love the flute and know how to make them play at their maximum potential. They also sell flutes and I have no doubt that their expertise with the many different brands of flutes that are available would help anyone find the perfect instrument to purchase. I highly recommend Flutacious! read more

I am a professional flutist, and have played Principal Flute in Southern California orchestras for many years. I have a fantastic gold Powell, and I would only take it to Flutacious for repair work. Cynthia is a wonderful flutist as well as a fantastic repair person. It's nice to know she will try the flute upon completion of the work. I am extremely fussy about having my flute in top condition, and Cynthia always meets my standards. Her staff is courteous and pleasant. I have only had positive experiences with Flutacious, and would give the business 10 stars if I could. In addition, they sell instruments and repair all flutes in the flute family. I bought my piccolo from her, and love it. I have bought several flutes from Flutacious, and Cynthia helped me sell each of them. If you want the highest quality repair work for your flutes, I highly recommend Flutacious. read more

I love this place. I live in Kirkland Washington and shop them online. I've purchased a 14K gold Burkart head joint and a 9K G/S flute with sterling keys. I play it with the Burkart head joint. Gorgeous flute. Their service and what they offer as a customer experience is exceptional. I'm sure I'm not done purchasing from them. read more

I just brought my daughter to Flutacious to get her flute repaired and was very pleased with the service.

They sell flutes and seem to know their stuff. Will definitely be returning here! read more

I took my wife's Powell flute in for repair. There was a bit of a wait to bring the instrument in, but it was totally worth it. My wife has never been happier with the way her flute plays. The ladies at the shop took great care of us. They obviously know their stuff! Plus we found her a great flute/picc stand to boot. Thank you Flutacious! read more
