... to have my flute serviced. It starts not to sound so good (it sounds airy etc.) :cry:
Is AUD 150 too much? That's what they said it would cost.

It depends upon what is included, but that's not unreasonable for a COA especially if your flutes needs a pad or two to be replaced. A COA usually requires 2-3 hours of labor and here in the USA, $50 per hour is about average.

Well, it is actually a music shop, but it is the biggest and more important in my area... It is where I recently bought my piano. They also have flutes, although I didn't buy mine there.
