About Me

Tom Sargeaunt - Certified Straubinger technician

My name is Tom Sargeaunt and I am a certified Straubinger flute repair technician. I am based in The Hague, The Netherlands. I studied flute performance at the Royal Academy of Music and now play alongside my repair work with leading orchestras in the Netherlands. I am one of the only technicians in the Netherlands to also be an active professional flute player and as such I am very sensative to making flutes feel 100%. All flutes overhauled by me are played-in ensure accuracy and reliablity of new pads. I have equipment which will find any leak in a flute if its there. I also offer consultation for professional players looking to check if their flute is in perfect condition. Please get in touch to make an appointment.
