We believe in the products we sell. This is why ATELIERkorri features student, step-up and pre-professional flutes handcrafted by Emerson DeFord. "Emmy" DeFord has been setting industry standards for more than forty years - in fact, many other manufacturers turn to him for his expertise and advice. His lifetime of experience includes years spent making the highest caliber, handmade flutes, in addition to well-crafted student and step-up models. As a result, his recently introduced DeFord brand of pre-professional and student models are remarkably professional in design and performance. All models are backed by DeFord's lifetime warranty on metal parts, and a one year warranty on pads and adjustments from ATELIER korri.
Flutes
and Piccolos
Each new Deford flute
features the handwork of Emerson Deford, a prominent
American flutemaker with more than forty years of
experience. Recently reintroduced with an updated scale and
precision fit mechanism, these student and step-up model
flutes are an outstanding value. ATELIERkorri special
orders its DeFord flutes to include upgrades such as
professional quality yellow-skinned pads, felt bumpers, and
French style cases on upper models. ATELIERkorri handcuts
each headjoint and fraises toneholes to ensure that each
instrument plays to its optimum potential. Backed by a
lifetime warranty on metal parts and a one-year warranty
from ATELIERkorri covering pads and adjustments.
