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 colleagues at Haynes and voilà —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!
One big difference is in the price — since there is no “middle man,” we can afford to pass the savings to you. Take a look at the price comparison chart below.
