Hey, a friend of mine has a flute that’s fallen into disrepair and she’s not sure where to take it. I haven’t seen it, but apparently the strings on the joints are almost completely gone (so not something a little beeswax can fix 
). So, if anyone knows somewhere where she can take it to get that repairedin the Chicago area, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks.

I bet Ted (a.k.a. O_Gaiteiro_do_Chicago) could ease your friend’s flute woes. 
Or at least know someone who can.

I had my antique flute recorked at Evanston Band and Orchestra.

I’d be willing to showing you how to put thread on the joints, it’s pretty easy. I am up on the Northside, PM me if you are interested.
