Dear Flute Family,

Straubinger Flutes announces it is now actively shipping most pad sizes and brands. Also, repair work is being accepted, including overhauls. Flute making that was in progress at the time of the fire has been resumed. Pad Makers report remarkable progress in replacing lost stock with all newly assembled pads.

David's strong spirit and determination has led the way for his company and it is with great humility that he acknowledges the tremendous outpouring of support and caring received from a worldwide family of customers and friends. David is committed to the same goals that have always defined his company: excellence and rigid Quality Control.

Straubinger Flutes is proud to offer services in all areas similar to before the fire of November 12th. The address and telephone contact numbers as well as fax remain the same. We temporarily have added another phone line until March 1, 2009: 317-755-1012.
