Welcome to the New England Flute Shop

"Jeffrey Schmalz and The New England Flute Shop have been a truly marvelous addition to the flute community in Massachusetts and beyond! Jeff is my go-to for flutes and repairs, from major overhauls to minor adjustments; he is timely, courteous, and ever-ingenious when it comes to resolving the most troublesome problems! My flutes and piccolos always sing when he is done with them!"
