FAQ's:

Q. What about tools?
A. Tools will be an important complement to your manual; we recommend a Landell Tool Kit to kickstart your budding workshop. This set of tools is specifically assembled for the Tune-Up student, and we can vouch for their quality, since we use the exact same tools in our shop. A perfect choice for evaluating your interest, this inexpensive set also won't endanger your flute with second-rate quality.

Q. I'm scared to work on my professional flute!
A. It is not necessary to use a professional flute for practice in this course - we suggest purchasing an inexpensive student flute locally or from an internet auction house like eBay.
