"The nicest ladies in the land! So helpful and professional. Just LOVE FPS! " ~ Deborah Podolka Educator of the Flute,Michigan

"I had been toying around with purchasing a gold flute for about 3 years but could not find just the perfect instrument.  I only play Muramatsu flutes and it's the only brand I've ever owned.  One morning while relaxing with coffee and perused Flute Pro Shop's web site and low and behold was a flute that seemed to meet every criteria that I wanted.   The flute was being shown at the West Chester Flute Fair so I jumped in the car that day and visited Kristen  and signed out the flute for a week trial.  By the second day I new this was the flute for me.   Joan could not have been more accommodating and professional.   From the get go, she was interested in me as a client and what my needs were.  She made me feel I was her only client the day we got together and she spent exactly the right amount of time with me while I made my final decision.   She contacted the seller of the flute while I was in her shop and negotiated the sale price that was more than fair to me as the buyer as well as taking care of the seller.   I left her shop that day with a flute that took 3 years to find and I could not be happier.  The entire experience was fun, exciting and never was there a moment of pressure to purchase.  It was all about me and finding the perfect instrument.  I also experienced professionalism when it came time to sell my silver Muramatsu.  Once again, the Flute Pro Shop found the perfect player who would love my flute  as much as I did.  Thinking of visiting the Flute Pro Shop?   Run don't walk.  It's worth every moment of holding a wonderful flute in your hands and hearing yourself play." ~Louis P.

 

 "Joan and Kristen are all extremely knowledgeable about the specifics of every flute in the inventory. They all worked with me for about 8 months by letting me sample different models, as well as emailing and calling me to ensure I felt comfortable with my purchase. I highly recommend the Flute Pro Shop for any purchase! My new Muramatsu DS is a dream come true and I'm thankful for their help finding the perfect flute for me!" ~Corinna M.
