The transformation was incredible, it looks like and sounds just like new!! You even repaired my flute case! I especially would like to thank you for your friendship that you showed me. I was so touched by your thoughtful concern. What a privilege!! Carl Helmer: Thank you for the time you spent working on my Powell. The instrument plays much easier than it has since I obtained it. Thanks again & I look forward to working with you more in the future. Carolyn Glover Jakovich: The flute sounds WONDERFUL, and the notes are so much fuller.  Thanks very much, and please convey my profound thanks to Jeff Weissman for giving me the discount.  My husband works for the State, and I am a full-time mom, so the discount is greatly appreciated. Chris Falango: Thank you so much for repair the dent in Julie's flute. You always treat Julie like she is a queen and we appreciate it so much. Thank you. Claudia Drosen: I just received the repaired instrument and headjoints and wanted to let you know that you were a absolutely great to work with. Your prompt replies put me at ease, and you were always willing to help with questions. I'm sure part of the reason Weissman thrives is because of your caring and consideration. Thanks again! Cynthia Barrette: I don't think I replied to let you know I got the flute and like it a lot!!! Thank you! Also very happy with the work done on my old Haynes flute. I'm playing them both in my jazz gigs and with my friends. May even get back into classical!! Daniel Kirchner: I just wanted to send you a note expressing my thanks for the quick cork assembly replacement you did for me last week. The weighted cork sounds great, and I am amazed at the increased response--I really had no idea the difference a new cork assembly could make. Jeff Weissman and Co. have been a tremendous resource, and I am very appreciative. Thanks again, and I look forward to continuing to take advantage of your expertise for a long time into the future. Diana Sipes: Just wanted you to know that I received the Haynes flute okay and it’s playing much better now. And wow, you can’t even tell where those scratches from the crown were! Thanks to you and Nick for getting it back to me so quickly. Ed Ruden: Thank you so much for your expert workmanship on my piccolo! I value your attention and effort in helping me with this most “helpful hobby” of mine! Elizabeth West: Thank you for your wonderful service and esp the quicknes and caring w/ all the details of fixing my flute!!! Jessica Dambaugh: This message is for Nick, who just recently worked on my flute.  I just wanted to tell him thank you for a wonderful job!!!!  It plays like a brand new instrument!!!  Thanks again! Julie Falango: Thank you so, so, so much for repairing my flute, and doing it so quickly too. I'm so happy I have it back and in wonderful, working conditions. It will be taken good care of. Thank you again. Kathy Link: Thanks so very much for helping me fix that leaky "batwing" key! I appreciated your endless patience. You were so completely generous with your time. Margaret Gorski-Sermer: I wanted to thank you again for being so responsive and kind to me and my husband this week when I had the problem with my flute low C key. You took so much time out of your busy schedule to fix the problem and make me feel comfortable, it was well worth the long drive from Connecticut. The flute works just fine now and I am very appreciative. Also my flute case is good as new after your repairs and I also love my new Jean Cavallaro case cover! As you suggested, I called Jim at Northwind Cases and explained about the multiple problems with the case and cover he sent and that I would like to return them for full refund. He agreed immediately which pleased and impressed me. So, this week began with a minor crisis but ended very positively with a total solution to the problem, but more importantly confirming my confidence in true professionalism and human goodness. I was so pleased and appreciative of your great service that I made an appointment with your office to have my flute serviced with new pads for May 5, after my series of performances. Thank you again. Maria Tamburrino, San Jose Symphony: Thank you so much for your magnificent work on my Brannen flute. The flute has a new life now. Impeccable work!!! Thank you. Marie Schwartz: I wanted to let you, Jeff, and Nick know how magnificent it was to play on my Powell piccolo on Saturday.  It sounded beautiful.  Thanks for a job well done. Mark LaForge: The lip plate is fantastic - just like you said, it is like brand new !! Thanks for doing a little polishing on the instrument too. With the work you did on the flute, the sound I would describe as noticeably more responsive, a little darker, with a more solid and resonant core. The solid feel that the sound has I think can be attributed to the good kind of resistance, as you describe it, that was added in the headjoint. I am thrilled with the work you have done because the flute can now retain its original sound, but in an enhanced form. Thanks again. Mary Fike: The Weissman flute you repaired for me (owned by Esther Lee) is wonderful.  Thank you for your excellent work. Mary Fike: I am still planning to send my other flute and piccolo. The ones you fixed are playing really well. Thank you for your good work. Meredith Allen: I am sure that you are quite busy as usual but I just wanted to take a few moments of your time to thank you for the amazing work you have done on my flute- you truly are the master of flutes. I could not be happier. Michael Colquhoun: I have been playing my newly modified Hammig for two weeks now, and your work on it was outstanding. Not only did you fit a new C# trill key and replace pads as asked, you also tightened up my case and the footjoint connection at no charge. Thank you for such an excellent job. I will recommend your work to any and all flutists. Patti Monson: My flute feels great.  Nick is very talented. Patty Haydis: I can't tell you how WONDERFUL my piccolo plays now! I am soooooo happy! Jeff is a miracle worker. I have praised his work to quite a few friends and hopefully, that will lead to more business for you. Please tell Jeff how happy I am. Thanks again, I am super happy! Paulela Burchill: I just wanted to write a really short little note to say  wow about the work that was done on my flute. It plays like new and I am extremely happy with the quality of work! Please tell Nick he did a great job on my instrument. Now I really look forward to playing Dvorak Symphony #7 in the fall (lots of beautiful flute passages in it) and thanks again!!!! Robin Krasny, Florida: You all were so wonderful to me when I came to get my aunt's flute fixed. I will never forget how you took such good care of me....took me to the airport afterwards AND sent me my coat in the mail when I accidently left it in your office!! Above and beyond....service with style and a smile....Thank you Jeff and Leila!! Sally Humphreys: I'm on tour in the lovely "Upper Midwest" and enjoying my "new and improved" piccolo! Thanks for your good work and your help. Sandra Church, The New York Philharmonic: The New York Philharmonic tour is going well. Here in Prague we played in Smetana Hall. The flute is sounding and feeling great thanks to your eleventh-hour genius. Sarah Halzman: I'm sorry it's taken me so long to put pen to paper, but I would like to thank you very much for the prompt service and great workmanship on my flute (not to mention the discount!) I really appreciate the fact that you could do it at such short notice. You got me out of a real bind! Thanks again. Sharon Rafferty: I know how busy this time of year must be for the store, so I appreciate everything all of you have done.  I wouldn't trust anyone else with my flute.  Again, thanks for so much and I look forward to doing business with you in the future! Shelley: Dear Powell Flute Company, After several problems with another flute company concerning my Powell 2110, I sent my flute to Jeff Weissman's. He and his associates managed to convince me that this Powell deserved one more chance. I knew he was an authorized warranty repairman for Powell, so I took one last chance with the flute. After a year-long battle with this flute, the flute plays beautifully today. He and his associates managed to convince me that this Powell deserved one more chance.

Sherrie: As a busy person with a tight schedule, you graciously put aside your important Connecticut appointment to attend to Blaine's flute repairs. Your warmth and honesty were overwhelming. You made Blaine feel very comfortable as if you had known him for years. In addition, you felt that our friendship was an important concern, and you conveyed that we were just as important as your famous clientele. Jeff, your repair work and knowledge of flutes are excellent. In essence, you are a master technician, and your work is the "Rolls Royce of flutes." You took the time to explain everything about the repair. We were both extremely impressed. Blaine & I have not stopped raving that the flute sounds and works 100% better. Sue: Thank you (once again!) for doing such a fabulous job with my flute! As I always say...."You're the BEST!" Take care! Sue Peters: I am always sending you a Thank You - because you are always doing things for me.  Thank you for making my Haynes flute sound beautiful.   Like I said, when no one is listening I am brave enough to sound it- and it sounds soooo nice now, without the air leaks. I am really enjoying it - I pick it up and play along with the radio a lot.   You are the most fascinating of all my friends, and Anne agrees with me. I also enjoyed seeing the tape of the girl, Catherine, playing flute. It is so cool how you adopt and encourage so many musicians - and she's lucky to have met the master, Jeff! This should be interesting! You are reliably, consistently AMAZING, Jeff!  Love you so much! Susan Jorgensen: I hope you received my phone message a few weeks ago, but I still wanted to send you a more formal thank you! Thank you for taking good care of my flute and improving the overall quality of it. This card feels like a meager attempt at appreciation, but let me say that I will recommend you to every flute player I know and will give you any of my future business. Thank you again. Tara O' Conner: Thank you soooo much. I love my flute now! I really appreciate all of the time you spent with me today making my instrument perfect! You are wonderful!! Tell Scott I said thanks for the cork & shine. It also looks beautiful!! See you in February. Tammy Wiggett: Thanks for everything!! The flute looks, sounds, and plays great!! Tibby Christenberry: I just wanted to let you know that my flute is fantastic after all you did to it!  It plays like a dream.  I didn't realize how badly it needed to visit you.  The change is incredible.  It seems like a brand new flute. I love the adjustment you made to the G# key.  It's perfect.  Already I can tell how much easier it will be to finger fast passages where I use that key.  It feels great. Thanks for polishing it up so nicely too.  I'm so proud of it-- it's such a beautiful flute. Thank you again!  Have a happy 4th! Wendy Marinelli: Thanx for taking care of me so quickly. The difference is amazing in the sound. She can now get notes out that were previously giving her trouble. Wendy Marinelli: The flute looks great and sounds even better. Many thanks to you, Nick, and Jeff for taking care of us.
