The Flutistry Edge: Your Exclusive Benefits Package

We pride ourselves on having the most generous and comprehensive warranty and benefits package in the business - all at no additional cost! We are pleased to provide the following benefits standard with every instrument purchase:


Standard Manufacturer Warranty

Each new instrument purchased comes with the standard manufacturer warranty. The details of these warranties are at the discretion of each individual manufacturer and are generally 1 year on beginner through intermediate flutes and lifetime on custom/professional level instruments. This typically covers all of the hardware (metal parts) of the instrument and may include the wood on piccolos, wood headjoints, and wood flutes. All manufacturer warranty issues are reviewed, assessed, and executed by Flutistry Boston.


Worry-Free Warranty

All instruments have a break-in period. Therefore, we provide a complimentary one-year Worry-Free Warranty on each new or certified preowned instrument which covers the software (pads & adjustments) that may require attention during your first year of ownership. This warranty does not cover cosmetic issues, plating, damage or the wood on preowned instruments. For buyers outside the greater Boston area, we provide one free round-trip shipping in the first year.


COA "Price-Lock" Guarantee

Because maintenance is an important part of sustaining the performance quality of an instrument, we offer an exclusive "price-lock guarantee" to all of our clients.  For each new or certified preowned instrument purchased at Flutistry Boston, we lock-in the current price of an annual Clean, Oil, and Adjust (COA) at time of purchase for the first standard Full COA service if provided by Flutistry within two years of purchase.


"15% OFF sheet music for life"

At Flutistry Boston our mission is to provide everything you need to improve your art and sound your best. The only thing we can't do is practice for you! We know that building your library and experiencing new repertoire is one of the most important ways to inspire yourself and your audiences. We also know that buying new music can be expensive. Our newest benefit accompanying ALL instrument purchases made at Flutistry Boston is our "15% off sheet music for life"! A custom code is generated for each instrument buyer and it is usable on our website or in person - and the best part is, it NEVER expires!
