What is the Samperi Flute?

Many people try the Samperi flute and fall in love with it. But, what is the Samperi flute exactly? Who makes it? Where does it come from?

Well, here it is.

Eastman Strings owns Haynes Flutes and they’re the ones that make, among others, the Haynes Amadeus and Samperi flutes.

Back in the day, owner of Weissman Music and flutemaker, Jeff Weissman, wanted to honor his friend by creating this responsive and colorful flute. So, he contacted his pals at Haynes and voila — the Samperi flute was born.

Compare this flute to the Haynes Amadeus to see which sound you like better. While made by the same company, each model is unique and has its own special qualities. We love BOTH flutes for different reasons!
