Louis Carlini is not only an expert flute repairman, but also a
Straubinger Certified Technician (see
here). Lou acquired most of his expertise from working
with his Dad, a master machinist
who had studied instrument repair at the Dorn & Kirchner School
in Union NJ. In 1973 they began to specialize in
professional quality flutes, and by 1992, Lou was working on the
flute of Julius Baker, former Principal of the NY Philharmonic.
Manufacturers in the quiet evolution of flutemaking in the
generation of the Golden Era through today have depended on his
expert opinion, and Louis continues to troubleshoot and apply
his ingenuity to each flute's individual needs and capacities.
Mr. Carlini
holds degrees in English Literature from FDU and Music
Performance [Magna Cum Laude] from Rutgers University. He
studied flute with Anton Kuskin and Ransom Wilson. He has
conducted repair seminars at Wilkes University [Pa.] and at the
1998 NY Flute Fair, and has done flute triage both at Wilkes and
for Julius Baker master classes.
An impassioned repair person, Louis strives to make every
instrument sing, and you can be sure that your flute will
maintain his solid precision adjustments. Mr.
Carlini is a member of the National Flute Association and can be
seen at their yearly conventions as well as other flute
associated conventions.
Your experience with Mr. Carlini
will be that he is not only humble about his abilities,
but also honest and fair in his dealings. So whether your
flute needs a tune up or you need to tune up your flute playing,
give Mr. Carlini a call! You won't be sorry!
