The New England Flute Shop is a service-driven business created by flute enthusiasts for the flute community. We provide a variety of personalized services where flutists can turn for professional flutes and piccolos as well as professional repairs and education.

Founded in 2000 by Jeffrey Schmalz, a highly regarded musician and professional flute technician, The New England Flute Shop has grown to become one of the premier flute resources in the United States.

We encourage anyone interested in learning more about our business and discussing their own flute needs to visit or call our shop which is located in Dartmouth, Massachusetts.  We're an easy 50-minute drive from Boston, Massachusetts and an even easier 30 minute drive from Providence, Rhode Island.  Of course you can always ship your flute to us for service as well. 

The New England Flute Shop is a full service dealer for the Miyazawa Flute, The Hammig Piccolo and the Lyric Flute.  We also provide service for all professional flutes including Brannen Brothers, Powell, Burkhart, Muramatsu, Prima Sankyo, Altus and Haynes.  Come visit us, but please call or email first to make an appointment for professional repairs or a flute / piccolo trial.
