| Commercial Exhibiters are always a very important part of the flute festival. There will be many opportunities to shop for new and used instruments, flute "accessories," and more. Thanks to our SFS Commercial Members who attend our festival year after year. Whether they travel from across the country or across town, they all spend a lot of time and money to be sure that our members get to test out some of the best flutes around. Please make sure to visit their exhibits! |
