Who We Are

The Shop

Since 1985 we have supplied thousands of players the world over, from beginner students to famous soloists, orchestral musicians and session players. Our 16th century premises in Croydon form the largest specialist flute centre in the United Kingdom, where we have an extensive selection of flutes, piccolos, alto flutes, bass flutes, music books and flute recordings. We are renowned for our flute and piccolo repair service.

Our comprehensive stock levels make us Europe's largest supplier of flutes and flute music, and we are always delighted to welcome customers to our music shop in Croydon to try instruments and browse through our wide selection of music and CDs.

Our Ethos

We pride ourselves on offering unbiased, friendly service. All members of the showroom team are musicians (it’s a pre-requisite for employment here) who appreciate the needs of the player. It doesn’t matter if you're a student or a world-class professional, all customers receive the same high level of service. Our staff members are committed to providing a level of service that they themselves would want to receive.

We don’t restrict ourselves to any particular supplier and always offer products that we consider to offer the best possible value. What appears on the face of it to be the “cheapest” is rarely so, and we are constantly driving home the message that cheap, inferior quality instruments will, long term, do more damage than good (read this article for more information on cheap instruments).

Manufacturers and importers regularly send us instruments to evaluate during their own research and development of their products, such is the value of our opinion. Our world-class repair studio regularly undertakes inspection and evaluation of new instruments.

Travelling Trade

Calling all teachers and flute groups! If you're organising a flute day, why not get in touch with us? We may be able to offer support with advertising, as well as bringing some of our massive range of music, accessories and instruments to you. Please contact us well in advance.
