Katie is known around the country and the world as an expert in Flute Repair. She has worked with and continues to work with many of the best repair technicians and is constantly learning about and trying new techniques and materials. She has also developed a reputation for honest and open customer service. She will work with each individual to ensure that their instrument is in the best possible playing condition.

Katie grew up in Massachusetts where she studied with Sue Kurian. She received her Bachelors of Music in Flute Performance from Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin. After completing the course in woodwind repair at Red Wing Technical College, she was employed by Verne Q. Powell Flutes, where she was instrumental in establishing the repair department. Continuing her relationship with Powell Flutes, and seeing a need for professional quality woodwind repair, in 1990, she relocated to Minnesota and opened her own repair service.

Shortly after moving to Minnesota, she studied with David Straubinger and is now a Certified Straubinger Pad Technician.

For 5 years, starting in 2002, Katie teamed up with Midwest Musical Imports and sold new and used flutes. Recently, she has ended the relationship to expand her own repair and sales services.

Wanting to continue to bring quality service to flutists, Katie now offers a variety of accessories just for flutes as well as some of the finest flutes available. Please visit our Flute Sales and Accessories pages.

Katie works from her home in Shoreview, MN, where she and her husband are raising their three adorable children.
