Armstrong history
In 1931, william teasdale armstrong, a highly respected craftsman, founded his small flute repair shop in elkhart, indiana.

word of his skill and uncompromising commitment to quality quickly spread, and it wasn't long before he was asked to manufacture complete instruments for professional musicians.

The armstrong legend was born.

The proud armstrong heritage passed on to son edward, who apprenticed under his father and shared his father's commitment to quality.

but edward's concern for quality went well beyond the crafting of professional-level instruments.

he recognized a need to provide quality instruments to a rapidly growing number of student and community musicians.

As a result, many flutists begin their musical journey on armstrong - and, as they progress, many find than an armstrong professional flute is the right model for their performing careers, as well.

Strong research and development programs are the heart of armstrong's continued dedication to innovation. That dedication brought features like the first headstart curved headjoint

that has helped scores of very young flutists learn to play.

innovations like the armstrong scale, new headjoint designs and more recently, development of the classic series, also demonstrate armstrong's continuing commitment to innovation.

today, the armstrong flute-makers continue to use their expertise to make modifications and new designs that improve the musical instruments they create.

Armstrong enjoys a well-deserved worldwide reputation as "the most respected name in woodwinds."

although the company has grown far larger than william t. Armstrong may have envisioned possible, his original guiding principles are still firmly in place:

listen, question, design, test and continue to craft, with the skill of true artisans, the world's finest woodwinds.
