I'm currently making a new one with the help of a machinist that has good lathes.
We will possibly have to do more than one to get a winner
Thanks for your words!

Thanks Fluteguy! I've succesfully done it before for a R.H. Yamaha flute rod that had 3 pin holes. The big difference in this case is that the end hole is conical (to match the L.H. screw rod). I sure can give it a try, but it will take me sometime and the customer is really in need of the instrumen...

Guys, I'm in an emergency here with a Zentner piccolo.
Thing is the L.H. steel rod is broken (the one where G, G#, A and Bb keys go). I don't have a precision lathe to make another one.

Wow, today it's all working here!

Talk to Jeff Smith (Owner). I know him personally and I think he must be also a good option for your need.

Lawrence Lee is not the distributor for Sankyo USA anymore. (over a year) Sankyo is being distributed through Miyazawa. Ask for Liz.. Really? Thanks! I had no idea. Sorry for giving the wrong information! Anyway, I had a Sankyo before my current Nagahara and I just loved it! Truly. I wanted a flute...

Most probably your flute will really need a revision. After you accomplish that, take some weeks of regular daily long note practice before you blame yourself. Another important thing, in my opinion, should be taking lessons.

Has anybody here had experience in the US with repairing a Sankyo flute under warranty? Does it go to Sankyo, or to the vendor where it was bought? I think you should contact directly Sankyo America in the person of Mr. Lawrence Lee. He is actually the distributor and also works with Sankyo mainten...

Indeed it is happening frequently with me too.

It just did and I tried to clear cookies and history in my browser, which didn't work.

Now, a few minutes later, I'm here...

It can be many kinds of problems, but most likely resides on the server side and around it.

I think JLSmith has a good tool to accomplish that.

Well done then
