Flute Repairs

The flute is a family of musical instrument of the woodwind group. The oldest flutes found, are reportedly  thousands of years old and made of bones. These flutes were used during hunting and in rituals.   Until the middle ages flutes were manly  played by hunters, shepherds  Charles Nicholson (1795-1837) introduced larger holes for the fingers and a larger hole for the mouth piece in order to get a better sound.
