21REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE
JOHN LUNN FLUTES
FOR QUALITY CUSTOM FLUTE DESIGN

"Staying in touch with the latest ideas and information is essential in providing the best care and finding workable solutions."


According to a 1996 survey of Symphony and Opera musicians, 76% reported at least one medical problem severe enough to affect performance. Things have not improved since then. To cope with this , in the past 10 years over 40 Performance Arts Medicine Clinics have opened across America.

We're doing our bit as well:

  • In 1995 Lunn flute designs (including the Angled Footjoint and Undercut Thumb Wing) were showcased at the Hannover Performance Medicine Symposium in Germany.
  • For the past six years, John has lectured at flute fairs across America to hundreds of flutists on finding solutions to hand problems.
  • In 1996, John was invited to lecture on ergonomic instrument design at the Aspen Symposium on Performance Arts Medicine.
  • HANDS ON! the quarterly flutist health newsletter goes out to over 6,000 readers across the country.

  • John Lunn Flutes can work directly with you to deliver timely and affordable custom work to satisfy the demands that you expect.


    I work on any make of flute to design what is right for each player. I have designed mechanisms for all kinds of hands, conditions, and all ages of players.

    I work personally with people in this field every day and understand their concerns. I get calls from teachers, hand specialists, doctors, flutists and students looking for help or sharing ideas.

    I don't work on a flute unless I know it will help. I look for solutions wherever they are, even if they may not require flute modifications. Many problems are postural or even medical in nature and require the services of a different kind of specialist. In these cases, I direct them to someone who can better help them.

    I work one on one to discover underlying causes to make sure that the program I prescribe will help the problem rather than aggravate or simply transfer it somewhere else.

    I can advise flutists on any subject related to performance injury, even if it is just a friendly consultation.

    My success rate speaks for itself. I have worked with flutists with simple problems like short reach to career breaking nerve damage and helped get their careers back on track.

    I don't have to meet you to achieve successful results. My program is geared towards working with flutists around the country.
