“Without a doubt Anne Pollack has raised the art of flute maintenance to a new level.”

“Anne has worked on the Galway flutes for years. Besides being patient, kind & trusting- her work is diligent & is just what the pro needs- and we are all pro’s- no matter what level you are at..”

“Anne Pollack is a great friend, musician and terrific flute repair person who has kept my wonderful old flutes purring for many years. Anne is sensitive to both the instrument and the player-she understands how you play and how you want your flute to feel. Anne has years of experience working on the finest instruments made by every maker(which she also sells-both purring old and brilliant modern ones)and she is that increasingly rare breed…a gifted, independent artist.”

“Anne Pollack has been the go-to repair person for my flutes for about a decade, providing excellent care that lasts through my touring all over the world. It is saying a lot when your flutes mechanism can stand up to different climates (thanks to Anne), but it says more when the quality of your instrument seems to improve with each overhaul.”

“Anne Pollack is a nothing short of a magician. She is a unmatched as a flute technician, but what makes working with Anne so gratifying is her integrity, her humanity, her generosity and her genuine, palpable love of the instrument. She helped me find several beloved instruments, and was an expert and caring guide throughout the process. There is no one in the world like Anne! I trust her with my flute, yes, but I’d also trust her with my life! I cannot sing enough praise for this extraordinary woman and her extraordinary work.”

“Anne Pollack is as wonderful a person as she is excellent as a repair person. She has worked on my Emanuel flute with great success and is cognizant and respectful of the procedural differences when working on flutes of different makers. This alone is a rare quality and goes far beyond normal flute repair.”

“For more than 20 years, and Anne has kept my flutes singing. Whenever I get one of my instruments back from Anne, I am always so happy—because when your flute feels good, you feel good! I completely trust her magical ability to diagnose and correct problems, and I value her willingness to share information about how the instrument is supposed to work, how to take good care of it, and how it all fits in to the bigger picture of playing the flute. In a very real sense, Anne’s work makes my work possible. Also, I just love hanging out with her when she is working on my instruments—she is a generous and wise soul.”

“After your overhaul, I am loving the way my flute plays! If I were a car person, it feels like taking a Maserati out on the open road! Thank you so much for your beautiful work!”

“There is no replacing the decades of experience and expertise that Anne brings to her work on flutes. Tuned into the most subtle nuances and listening with such care, she always manages to bring out the very best in my instrument…and that’s what makes it possible for me to play at my very best!”

“My flute is now behaving beautifully—thanks to you! Such a pleasure. Again, many thanks for the good work.”

“A trip to New York is not complete until Anne has worked on my flute and piccolo! Her impeccable work always leaves my instruments ringing beautifully in their sweet spots, breathing an ease of playing into the instruments that make them that much more versatile. And, I could not be more grateful for her flexibility of schedule!”

“I have been blessed to have Anne as the ONLY person, to service my flutes for the past 22 years. Her knowledge and professionalism is above and beyond.”

“Anne Pollack has the advantage of being both a world class flute technician and a professional with excellent ears. Few people know the flute as she does and are capable of fine tuning an instrument so that it gives it’s best to the player. I know I am in expert hands with her and that my flute will play great.”

“Anne has turned the craft of flute repair into high art. Her sensitivity, thoroughness and her attention to detail are not only unsurpassed, but a constant in her daily work. She has, each and every time, restored my instruments to perfection. I trust her with my soul.”

“Anne is one of the best. Not only am I satisfied with the work Anne does on my flute, she operates with an incredible bedside manner. MY FLUTE WORKS!”

“Anne Pollack has done my work exclusively since the late ’80’s and has always done terrific work for me! She recently overhauled my flute and it is such a pleasure to play again. Any time I have had any desperate need for a repair, Anne has always been willing to step in ‘in a pinch’ and do any kind kind of work that is needed to help me out!”

“The flute is glorious! Kudos to you again. Thank you so much. You are the best!”

“Thank you so much for the wonderful piccolo overhaul. Your meticulous care has brought my instrument back to its original responsiveness. Now it is much more facile, with better intonation and has the ability to sustain long tones without dropping out. You have worked wonders!”

“Anne tirelessly, patiently, and creatively helped me through the entire process of choosing a new flute & was with me every step of the way. I absolutely love my new flute – a beautiful Powell that was owned by Doriot Anthony Dwyer – and I never would have found it without Anne. It speaks volumes that such an accomplished flutist trusted Your Flute Works to sell her flute.”
