Last night the lip plate on my flute broke off. Never had that happen before! Looks like a clean break at the soldering line, so hopefully a relatively easy fix.

Once again Gary did a superb repair job! Turns out there’s actually quite a lot of things to get right (or wrong!) soldering the lip plate back on. I’m so fortunate to have such a highly skilled repairman to take my flutes to when they need fixing. Thanks again Gary!
